Set in the winter of 2002 in chilly upstate New York, After tells the story of a middle class family struggling with the financial consequences of a failing family business and a series of inter-generational conflicts and rivalries. But, what truly threatens to upset their delicate balance - and shatter the emotionally fragile family matriarch, (played by Academy Award nominee Kathleen Quinlan) - is an intricately buried secret that, if revealed, could alter their lives irrevocably. A searing study of denial, deception, and self-delusion, Afteri s also a powerful portrait of the lengths we go to protect those we love.
