Storyline
Plot Summary |
In conservative West Orange, New Jersey, the Ostroff and Walling families are very close. David Walling and Terry Ostroff are inseparable best friends and run together every day. David has problems with his wife Paige and frequently sleeps alone in his office. Their daughter Vanessa is frustrated because she has not succeeded in her career as a designer. Their son Toby is moving to China on a temporary assignment. Terry's wife Cathy ignores him; their daughter Nina moved to San Francisco five years ago. Near Thanksgiving, Nina's boyfriend Ethan betrays her at his birthday party and Nina returns to her parents' house. Nina argues with her mother and draws closer to David. Soon they have an affair and fall in love, turning the lives of the people close to them upside-down. Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil |
