As an executive at a small corporation in moss-draped Verona, Georgia, he relishes his role as breadwinner, protector and leader of his family -- his adoring wife and two beautiful children. But his good life shatters when his emerging alcohol abuse unleashes a family crisis and sends his son to the hospital Deeply frightened, he moves to their weekend cottage to confront his demons. He cannot return home until he is certain his wife and children have no reason to fear him. Patty, his sweet, reserved wife, stays the course at home with their increasingly troubled children and defiantly withstands the buffeting winds of gossip and scandal that sweep through their small town in the wake of Troy's departure. She longs for the day his self-imposed exile ends and she can welcome him home. But busybodies at Troy's workplace assume he left home because his marriage is in trouble.
