Description: The year Danny kills himself, his father, Dr. Jack Owens, spends the entire summer watching mental reruns of his life, castigating himself for his failures as a parent and grieving for the 15-year-old son who couldn't resolve a moral dilemma: Which is more important, honesty or loyalty? Woven into achingly lovely images of Danny as a small, bewildered, and sensitive child who missed his mother and the story of her betrayal, which cuts Jack's emotional ties to everyone but his son, are omens of even darker truths about Danny's death.
