Description

Clara Sverdlow has been stalked by her high-school lover for almost 20 years. A recently sober alcoholic in her mid-thirties, she has found happiness in a tenuous new marriage to Mark. Yet the past lurks over them like a great shadow, always encroaching on their happiness. With a miracle baby, they are trying to forget the past and learn to live normally in the world. But Clara's stalker secretly insinuates himself upon their life, with disastrous consequences. Clara and Mark's only hope is to address the past and confront the present before it's too late.
