Summaries

A portrait of a dysfunctional 1990s suburban family, where behind closed doors, alcohol and rebellion are hidden inside the lie of perfection. 15-year-old Deena's sleazy, twisted boyfriend is believed--at first--to be the cause.

15-year-old Deena Marten wants the same freedom every teenager craves. But when she can't have her way, her rebellious temperament erupts in violence. Her parents, Cynthia and Todd, fear that her new boyfriend Garret, 17, is the cause. Distraught, Cynthia turns to alcohol and Todd escapes into his work. They're unaware that their Boy Scout son Adam, 13, sips from a vodka bottle hidden in his bedroom, and the problems in this dysfunctional family continue to worsen.—Echo Bridge Home Entertainment
