The Mulvaney family is the envy of their farming community in upstate New York. Parents Corinne and Michael have four children, Marianne, Michael, Patrick and Judd.
The harmonious family life comes to a crashing halt the day Marianne is raped by the son of a local business man, who is also a friend of Michael Sr. Marianne refuses to press charges against her attacker - an act her father simply cannot understand. In fact, Michael is so appalled by Marianne's decision that he finds himself unable to look at his his daughter the same way, and so sends her to live with a distant relative.
The family as a whole collapses when Michael's drinking forces him to lose his business and declare bankruptcy. The farm is lost, the parents divorce and the family members scatter to the winds, until many years later they reunite to deal with their past.
