Jack Elliot is stepping into midlife on top of his game. The flip,
wise-cracking professor is up for tenure at a prestigious college
and his books sell like hotcakes from coast to coast. He's living
the good life in a posh Connecticut shoreline town with all the
trappings: marble fireplaces, sandy beaches, private boarding
schools. The man is hitting on all cylinders and his future never
seemed brighter. That is, until the bottom falls out. In a blink,
seemingly every aspect of Jack's world gets turned upside down. He
faces trumped up academic harassment charges, discovers his wife
has been unfaithful and his teenage son bullied by high school
thugs. Enter the seductive and mysterious Rachel Pond into Jack's
life as well as troubling memories from a family swimming pool
party that went horribly wrong, and suddenly he has more on his
plate than he can handle. Such circumstances take their toll, and
the seemingly ordinary Elliot family is thrust down a path of
uncertainty and upheaval it never intended to take. This becomes a
tale of the spiritual emptiness that plagues families who seem to
have it all, the emotional frailty that can strike anyone or any
time without warning. As events run head-on into each other, the
truth of the Elliots' inner demons come closer to the surface: a
father in a rush to make a living, a mother creating a world of
escape and diversion, a teenage son secretly battling his own guilt
and demons. Each has thrown up walls of isolation and protection,
resulting in strangers living under the same roof. This is a tale
of death and rebirth, a story about a family whose lives have been
rearranged and redefined by tragedy. The Way Back conveys simple
messages about the complexities of life: how we need to accept our
loved ones just as they are, their gifts and beauty along with
their flaws and inner pain. In so doing, we discover what matters
most.
