Is a murderer necessarily different from you and me? Juliette just got out of prison for murdering her 6 year old son. Rejected those years by her family, she is now welcomed into the home of her long lost sister. Her days are quiet and heavy, spent resuming the job of fitting in, looking for work, learning to love and be loved. No one has ever known the circumstances of the murder and no one asks. There is a young niece who asks a lot of questions of Juliette, mostly where she has been all her life. There is a brother in law who isn't completely comfortable with the idea of Juliette living in his home, with his children. There is a sister who is waiting to become a part of Juliette's life again.
The small things in life are presented here in each scene of Juliette's new life. An hour at the local cafe, a hopeful job interview, washing dishes in her sister's kitchen, teaching a niece to play a piece on the piano, a dinner with new friends. Life can be reclaimed after tragedy. There is always more love when we believe all is lost.
