In 1980, a wealthy businessman named Carl Fletcher is kidnapped, brutalized, and held for ransom. He is returned to his wife and kids less than a week later, only slightly the worse, and the family begins the hard work of moving on with their lives. But nearly forty years later, it becomes clear that perhaps nobody ever got over anything. As they hover at the delicate precipice of another kind of survival, they learn that the family fortune has dwindled to just about nothing, and they must face desperate questions about how much their wealth has played a part in both their successes and their failures.
