The seven Shaw siblings have long been haunted by early and profoundly consequential events. Told in turn back and forth over time, from the early twentieth century through the 1950s, each sibling relays their own version of the memories that surround their mother's mysterious death. Entangled in a family knot, each sibling encounters divorce, drama, and death, while haunted by a mother who was never truly there. They all seek not only to understand how her death shaped their family, but also to illuminate the insoluble nature of the many familial experiences we all encounter.
