A claustrophobic, deeply melancholic examination of a family's slow dissolution across a single day, built on accusation, addiction, and the impossibility of escape or redemption.

An Irish miser, his morphine addicted wife, their debauched older son, and a gravely ill younger son. A quiet Connecticut vacation home on one foggy day in August 1912 becomes the backdrop for domestic decline.
