Tasked with caring for their elderly relatives, Jean, a withdrawn wife and mother, finds herself drawn into a passionate but perilous affair with a man on the brink of despair. Oblivious to his wife's secret rendezvous, her husband, Gordon, grapples with the terrifying notion of losing his sanity following a bewildering encounter with a forgotten ex-lover. Their two children, 19-year-old Priscilla and 9-year-old Otis, are each navigating their own labyrinth of youthful experiences.

Meanwhile, Otis, a young crossword devotee, finds himself tumbling head over heels into the innocent throes of first love with Caterina, stirring within him emotions he has never known before. Amidst this whirlwind of personal trials, the family is tethered to the fading memories of Gordon's father, Theodore, whose mind is slowly surrendering to dementia.
