Five years ago the eldest Furey son, Hugh, ran off into the night
and never returned. His parents, estranged by grief, are trying to
put the tragedy behind them after a long, exhausting, and fruitless
search. His mother, recovering from an emotional breakdown, has
lost herself in a new career; Hugh's father, having abandoned his
faith and his position as a theology professor, now cares
halfheartedly for their two remaining children. Left more or less
to fend for themselves, ten-year-old Owen and fifteen-year-old Lena
struggle to hold on to their brother's memory--an increasingly
self-destructive obsession that gives rise to angel fantasies, drug
use, quixotic quests, and dangerous experimentation that will
ultimately force a damaged family to confront its past and find a
future.
