When Harry, the local cop, knocks on Paul Unger’s door early one morning to give him the grim news -- that his son, Stephen, has been found drowned -- Paul descends into a grief that carries him to a dark and unfamiliar place. His comfortable life is overturned, and he is left to question his own role in his son’s death. When, several years later, a woman returns to town with a boy who might be Paul’s grandson, Paul imagines in both of them a path back to his son.
