As a 21 year old soon-to-graduate college senior, Lindsay, her father Billy, and their lifelong Native American friend Paddy (both employees at Los Alamos) are forced to confront unresolved moral and personal issues that have been building between them for years. In the wake of the controversial national celebration, they are on a collision course that will leave all their lives forever changed.

The Long Island private school that Justin Campbell attends has hired an esteemed English teacher with a famous literary last name. This teacher, who holds very opposite views from Justin's father, quickly becomes Justin's mentor, much to the father’s consternation. This family drama, set in the affluent Montauk community, centers on the power struggle between these two role models, Justin's father, a hedge fund manager with financial power and influence, and Justin's mentor, a man with powerful ideals, and the impact this struggle has on the family and the developing 16 year old that lies between them.
