- Synopsis:
The setting takes place on the shores of Lake Superior in Duluth in the winter of 1934 and America is in the grip of the Great Depression. The story is narrated by Dr. Walker (Robert Joy), physician to the Laine family. Nick Laine (Jay O. Sanders) is the proprietor of a rundown guesthouse. The bank is threatening to foreclose on the property and he is desperate to find a way to save his family from homelessness. His wife, Elizabeth (Mare Winningham), is suffering from a form of dementia which propels her from catatonic detachment to childlike, uninhibited outbursts which are becoming difficult to manage. Their children are Gene (Colton Ryan), who is in his early twenties, and their adopted daughter, Marianne (Kimber Elayne Sprawl), who is nineteen. Marianne is five months pregnant and the identity of the father is a mystery she guards carefully. Nick is trying to arrange a marriage between Marianne and a local shoe mender, Mr. Perry (Tom Nelis), in order to secure her future. The social awkwardness is complicated by the fact that Marianne is a black girl living with a white family. She was abandoned in the guesthouse as a baby and brought up by Nick and Elizabeth... - Actors:
