Brilliant brothers Langley and Homer Collyer are born into
bourgeois New York comfort, their home a mansion on upper Fifth
Avenue, their future rosy. But before he is out of his teens Homer
begins to lose his sight, Langley returns from the war with his
lungs seared by gas, and when both of their parents die, they seem
perilously ill-equipped to deal with the new era. As romantic Homer
and eccentric Langley construct a life on the fringes of society,
they hold fast to their principle of self-reliance. But they are
mocked and spied on, and despite wanting nothing more than to shut
out the world, the epic events of the century flow through their
housebound lives as they struggle to survive and create meaning for
themselves.
