Moving between the 70s and the present day it shows Danny writing about his sister's experience of sexual abuse by his father. As he invents a fiction of what he has been told has happened, what he remembers happening and what he imagines or dreams to have happened in the past Danny's story threatens to blow the family apart, until the other members join ranks to keep the story a family secret. |
