In January 1961, the Campbell family moves from their Philadelphia row home to a larger house in a suburb where they believe they will have a better life. The parents, devoted grandmother and five children start each day with a song. Bonded by their happiness, they protect the one child who suffers from a neurological condition that marks him as different.Then, in one swift stroke, the family's joy is shattered. A town local, long embittered by his lot in life, whom the Campbells help in his dire time of need, becomes mired in his own bitterness, greed, and jealousy. He inflicts irrevocable harm upon them.Struck hard by this tragedy none of them can fathom, each of the Campbells reacts in an uncharacteristic way. Their closeness is extinguished.
