description: In the woods of upstate New York, three friends gather on the anniversary of a man's death who was related to them by blood or love. Their idyll is disturbed by the presence of two outsiders, an Italian dinner guest and a young gay man, now involved with the dead man's lover. Thus each event is charged with the tension of trying to recapture something lost.
