As the world evolves, a family navigates the complexities of growing up, aging, love, loss, and resilience. In a Brooklyn brownstone, Dan and Isabel's seemingly perfect life begins to unravel. Both harbor feelings for Isabel's younger brother, Robbie, a free spirit living in the attic. As Robbie grapples with a recent breakup and prepares to leave home, tensions rise, threatening the family's cohesion. Meanwhile, ten-year-old Nathan seeks independence, while five-year-old Violet remains blissfully unaware of her parents' growing divide. As the pandemic lockdown begins, the brownstone transforms into a confining space. Violet becomes fixated on safety, while Nathan rebels against her rules. Isabel and Dan communicate through thinly veiled frustrations, and Robbie finds himself isolated in a mountain cabin in Iceland, wrestling with his thoughts and a curated online persona. As the family emerges from the crisis, they confront a changed reality, reflecting on their experiences, losses, and the path forward. This poignant narrative, crafted by a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, delves into the intricacies of love, loss, and the challenges of family life—exploring how to coexist while navigating personal struggles.
