Ben is called back home, and faces his father, from whom he has been estranged for ten years, and his new wife, Anita. He finds himself attracted to her, and missing his mother, who has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. He is embroiled in a guilt and blame game and must find a path to forgiveness.
Ben finds his father’s old tape recorder, and every evening he and Anita find a few moments to record their most intimate thoughts, without knowing that their secrets are being captured, and then written down in a book, by his father.
