Have you ever wondered if the stories from your family's past were
really true? When Mark Stephens takes a week long trip to visit his
elderly grandmother, Emily Goodman, he is confronted by the reality
of his family's secret past. She reveals how her father Frank's
desire to control her life and the lives of her family members made
them virtual prisoners. Emily's father, Frank Vandermeer, is a man
trying to escape his past; the mysterious death of his first wife,
a witness who speaks from the grave, and a child who vanishes into
thin air. When a private investigator, hired by his ex-father-in
law, shows up unexpectedly, Frank fears his past may have finally
caught up to him. Helen, Frank's second wife, is trapped by her own
fears and bound by her religious beliefs concerning marriage. Son
Frank Jr., manipulated by his father to become heir to the family
business, struggles under the pressure. Levi, the middle child,
longs for the freedom to make his own path in life. Daughter Emily
struggles to overcome her father's manipulation, so she can marry
the man she loves. Fate conspires to bring the struggles of Frank
and his family to a climactic conclusion. In the process of sharing
her secret, Emily and Mark's bond grows deeper. In turn, she helps
him come to an important decision in his own life. The ending will
make you think about what really matters most in life.
