Description
Amanda Wingfield had imagined a better life for herself but she now lives in a drab apartment with son Tom and daughter Laura. The father has left home, Tom supports the family with a job he hates, and Laura lives in a world of her own. When Amanda convinces Tom to bring home a “gentleman caller” for Laura, all of the family’s dreams depend on the outcome of his visit.
