Moving from one unhealthy relationship to another, Caroline (Ellen Barkin) and her son, Toby (Leonardo DiCaprio), roam the country and finally end up in Washington state, where she marries Dwight (Robert De Niro), a modest mechanic. But Dwight fails to be the role model she had hoped for, and Toby is desperate to escape from under his heavy, abusive hand. Michael Caton-Jones‘s gripping drama is based on Tobias Wolff’s autobiography of the same name.
