Following a tragic schoolbus accident,
opportunistic lawyer Mitchell Stephens descendes
upon a small town. With promises of retribution on
behalf of the grieving community, Stephens sets to
work on a class action lawsuit. But beneath the
town's placid surface, he discovers a tangled skein
of deceit and forbidden desire that mirrors his own
troubled life. Everyone, it seems, has secrets to
keep. Through a skillful weave of past and present,
Atom Egoyan explores the human spirit and its
capacity for grief, loss and redemption.
