The mother, Vicky, is discontent with her life and betrayed relationship, and in anger has a relationship with Douglas's co-worker in retaliation for his infidelity. She struggles with trying to find her freedom and leaving the security of the relationship. Robert and Barbara are teenagers trying to understand their family, although both of them are having adolescent problems of their own.
