About

In the aftermath of the 1989 Montreal Massacre, Benoît and Kathleen do, everything they can to help their beloved son cope with his guilt and rage... but Jean's young life becomes unglued.

Using humor and the humdrum of everyday life, Murphy intuitively moves backwards in time to the fateful day when Jean, the only ray of hope in this working-class family, escaped the massacre... or thought he did. This searing drama on courage, heroism, and despair explores the long private shadow that public violence casts.
