Linda (Theresa Russell) and Dr. Henry Henry (Christopher Lloyd) lead an apparently normal suburban life in Northern Carolina. However, while Linda longs for a child, Henry is gripped by an obsession for his model railway and distracted by the attentions of his assistant, the amorous Nurse Stein (Sandra Bernhard).
Linda threatens suicide but is interrupted by the arrival of an enigmatic young Englishman (Gary Oldman) who claims to be her long-lost son, Martin, the baby who was taken away from her while she was still a schoolgirl.
Although unnerved by Martin, Linda is also inspired by him and, through the course of a violent and passionate day, she finds herself able to exorcise her troubled past.
Based on a original story by Dennis Potter.
