Synopsis

Escape From Grace follows the struggles of the McCarthy family as they “help” their father, Winston, deal with the death of his youngest child. Every other character has found something to help them cope. Whether it is golf, academia, yogic energy, or drugs, the family members are slowly finding footholds in normal life. Gathering for Winston’s birthday, they use these footholds in a sometimes frantic attempt to help him reclaim his life. Do they succeed?—not without more drastic acts of atonement and glimpses of surprising hope. (cleverchickadee.zoomshare.com)
