"I'm black, born Haitian, French and Jewish by adoption... I feel all of those things, but people don´t look at me like that. It´s normal, but that makes it harder for me to find my place". At 34 years old, David dreams and, at the same time, fears going back to Haiti, where he was adopted a year after he was born, by Claire, a French and Jewish woman whose entire family died in concentration camps. From her solitude, another was born; one in the process of redemption.

In a suburban landscape, the lives of several families interlace with loss, despair and personal crisis. Esther Gold has lost focus on all but caring for her comatose son, Paul, and neglects her daughter and husband. Lawyer Jim Train is devoted to his career, not his family. Helen Christianson wants to find a new spark in life, while Annette Jennings tries to rebuild hers.

In order to be reinstated to the bar and recover custody of her daughter, a hotshot lawyer, now in recovery and on probation, must take on the appeal of a woman wrongfully convicted of murder.
