The script, by Micky Levy, follows the aftermath of a gruesome train accident that leaves one woman dead. Left to pick up the pieces, a married couple and a young boy struggle to make sense of the life they have been left with.
Kevin Bacon turns in a nice performance as a man whose feelings have been bottled up for years, but Marcia Gay Harden, as his wife, hams it up a bit too much.
