Why tonight?

  • Under two hours — there is still an evening on the other side of it.
  • It goes hard on violence — not a wind-down.

The story

With her husband Jack perpetually away at work, Margaret Hall raises her children virtually alone. Her teenage son is testing the waters of the adult world, and early one morning she wakes to find the dead body of his gay lover on the beach of their rural lakeside home. What would you do? What is rational and what do you do to protect your child? How far do you go and when do you stop?
