Christine, a lesbian doctor in a San Francisco slum, and her sister Liz, who lives with her husband on a small, self-sufficient farm, are both consumed with guilt that goes back 30 years: while they were watching their 5-year-old brother, Timothy, he disappeared without a trace. When the two of them join some friends on a camping trip, their long-buried emotions come to the fore--along with some utterly unexpected facts.
