Jack Griffin, a middle-aged screenwriter and professor, once tried to escape his academic parents. With his marriage faltering and his father's ashes in the trunk, he travels to Cape Cod for a wedding; returning to the landscapes of his childhood makes him wonder whether he truly escaped his upbringing and how much he knew about his parents.
