When Audrey makes a devastating discovery about her husband, New York radical lawyer Joel Litvinoff, she is forced to re-examine everything she thought she knew about their forty-year marriage. Joel's children will also have to come to terms with this unhappy secret, but for now, they are coping with their own dilemmas.
