Plot:
Becca and Howie Corbett are a happily married couple whose perfect world
is forever changed when their young son, Danny, is killed by a car.
Becca, an executive-turned-stay-at-home mother, tries to redefine her
existence in a surreal landscape of well-meaning family and friends.
Painful, poignant, and often funny, Becca's experiences lead her to find
solace in a mysterious relationship with a troubled young comic-book
artist, Jason - the teenage driver of the car that killed Danny. Becca's
fixation with Jason pulls her away from memories of Danny, while Howie
immerses himself in the past, seeking refuge in outsiders who offer him
something Becca is unable to give. The Corbetts, both adrift, make
surprising and dangerous choices as they choose a path that will
determine their fate.

Becca and Howie are still dealing emotionally with the accidental death
of Danny, their four year old son and only offspring, eight months after
the fact. Danny died by being run over when he ran out onto the street
chasing after his dog. Becca and Howie are finding that they need
different mechanisms to cope. They have been attending a support group,
Becca who is openly hostile toward the group, not wanting to turn out
like Gabby and Kevin who have been attending the sessions for eight
years, or like the couple that relates everything about their experience
to their religious beliefs. Becca seems to be erasing anything physical
that reminds her of Danny, including wanting to move, while Howie wants
those physical touchstones, even wanting the dog back which they got
rid of after the accident but which he still loves and knows Danny
loved. Outwardly, Howie wants their life to return to some normalcy,
including resuming a sexual relationship, while Becca seems to be having
more difficulties doing so as she will not even reach out to one friend
she knows wants to provide support but doesn't know how to make that
first step. It may not help Becca's psyche that her irresponsible
unmarried sister Izzy is having an unplanned baby. And Becca cannot
handle it whenever her and Izzy's mother Nat tries to provide comfort,
especially relating stories about the heroin overdose death of Becca and
Izzy's brother Arthur eleven years ago. Despite loving each other,
Becca and Howie's marriage may not be able to to survive these
differences. The way they individually cope may change when each
experiences something that they don't tell the other. For Howie, it's
learning something about Gabby and Kevin. And for Becca, it's spotting
Jason, the high schooler who was the driver of the car that hit Danny.
