When Rolf is killed in a car accident, the entire family spins into grief and chaos.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNathaniel, a mysterious art museum curator, soon enters their lives and seems to offer solace. Frannie, Rolf's mother, becomes infatuated with the young man; Alex, who split with her long-term girlfriend in the aftermath of Rolf's death, finds herself deeply attracted to him. Only Stephen mistrusts Nathaniel--but he soon becomes consumed with the nationwide financial crisis threatening the family's stability. Will Alex choose Nathaniel over her loyalty to Stephen?
