A dark, intimate family drama about the collision of hidden secrets and moral compromise, where a sheriff's political ambitions and long-standing affair unravel through his daughter's romantic entanglement.

A sheriff sees his state senate bid slide out onto the ice when his daughter begins to date the son of a charming but psychologically disturbed woman with whom the sheriff has engaged in a two-decade-long affair.
