Dana Catrell grapples with feelings of insignificance in her marriage to Peter, whose small, dismissive actions leave her feeling trivial. Living a quiet life in a suburban setting near Manhattan, she spends her days tidying and reading, while missing her college-aged son. As she reflects on her relationship, the emotional distance grows, highlighting the impact of seemingly minor interactions that contribute to her sense of isolation and longing for a more meaningful connection.
Dana Catrell wakes from a drunken stupor in time to see an ambulance pull into her neighbour's house a few doors down. Celia Steinhauser has been murdered. But Dana was at her house only a few hours ago. Celia wanted to show her a photo - a photo of Dana's husband with another woman - and Dana has blank spots about what happened to the rest of the afternoon . . .
