Bob Rowe and his partner Mary proved helpful hard to create their American wish. A suburban home, barbecues in the summertime, and a fast track commercial job made their life look ideal to outsiders. Yet they faced one of the most difficult issues for a couple: their kid Christopher was born greatly handicapped and disabled. As a family, they were able to navigate through the a down economy by being hands-on parents. Their efforts were emboldened by several incredible women - most of whom also possessed disabled children - who acted as a support system for one another. Yet something slowly began to happen to Rowe . . . His deceased mother's tone of voice began to reverberate in his brain instructing him to murder his family; fact disintegrated and a new job was lost when it demonstrated too mind-boggling. Finally a brief stay in a psychiatric hospital did nothing at all to quell his immediate volatility . . . In a very horribly violent action, he killed his partner and children. Seen through the eye and thoughts of Rowe's friends and second partner (whom he committed on release from the psychiatric hospital where he spent just a couple of years for the murder of his family), Salamon braids the storyplot of an man's roller coaster life (from ideal family man to murderer to someone battling for redemption) with the coming in contact with and heroic tales of the moms who were left looking on in impact at the tragedy no person ever could have anticipated.
