 A young woman (Annabeth Gish) was left mentally disabled after a car crash 20 year previously, a condition which her mother (Lynn Redgrave) has never come to accept. Thus she favors her other "normal" daughter (Cecilley Carroll) and basically tolerates the other daughter s existence. It also doesn t help that her husband (Ben Siegler) also has some mental disabilities. As the family slowly divides, the older daughter s unconditional love rises.
