Legendary network journalist Robert Hornblower enjoys great public respect; yet secretly he lords over his agent, has an affair with his producer, abuses his wife and threatens her gay confidant. When this hypocrisy is discovered by a tabloid cable personality, it appears that the television industry that created Hornblower is about to expose him and destroy him.

Upper Michigan, the summer of 1961. While vacationing in their family’s isolated cabin, a father tries to enforce his expectations on his young-adult son and college-age daughter as they struggle to assert their independence. Bound by traditions, both parents and children reveal their personal desires and dreams only to discover that, although very different, they are very much the same.
