CGiii Comment
The true beauty of motherhood and unconditional love.
This will definitely get you thinking: what would I do?
Fitzgerald manages to present and sustain a truth that is both difficult to accept and almost impossible to present.
He manages this through his actors - who all keep themselves from falling off of a sentimental cliff - but. when the fall comes, it is slow, expected and still fatal.
An extraordinary experience - an event.

Nick, a district attorney investigating the most recent case, a suspicious apparent suicide, and her interviews with friends and family of the deceased trigger extensive and intricately interwoven flashbacks that reveal surprising facts about the man's life and death.
