In the summer of 1960 in Atkinson, Vermont, Marie Fremoyle is a strong but vulnerable divorced woman whose loneliness and ambition for her childres make her easy prey for con man Omar Duvall. Marie's children are Alice, 17, involved with a young priest, Norm, 16, hotheaded and idealistic, and Benjy, 12 - isolated and misunderstood, and so desperate for his mother's happiness that he hides the deadly truth he knows about Duvall. We also meet Sam Fermoyle, the childrens' alcoholic father; Sam's brother-in-law, who make anonymous "love" calls from the bathroom of his appliance store, and the Klubock family, who live an orderly life in the house next door.
