Guilt & Consequences

A 12-year-old boy's father unexpectedly collapses and dies at a party given at their home in celebration of his advancement at his firm. The boy's lucid dreaming provokes a sense of guilt that he is somehow responsible for his father's untimely passing, particularly because of an earlier altercation between them. It is summer and his Uncle Joe, a psychiatrist (his mother's brother), suggests they use his summer cabin up in the Poconos as a respite to escape and relax during this difficult time. To make bad matters worse, this initial trauma is followed by a heinous, unspeakable crime, leading us to suspect additional characters in this small town setting. Along the way, however, even deeper secrets unveil themselves, in a chain of shared lifelong secrets and denials, and their ultimate consequences.
