A 40-year-old, out-of-work high school football coach examines his past and his relationship with his family, 
including his suicidal-writer sister, Vietnam-vet brother, violent-tempered father and disillusioned mother.

=============

Tom Wingo is unhappy with his life. His wife doesn't understand him and he also doesn't get along with his 
dominant mother. When his sister attempts suicide, her psychologist Susan Lowenstein consults him. Patiently 
and cautiously she uncovers the terrible secret hidden in Tom and Savannah's childhood. On the other side she's 
unhappy too and so both help each other to find their way back to life.

=============

When a Southern born New York writer tries to commit suicide, her "unemployed-football-coach" twin brother, 
Tom Wingo, comes to her aid. While tending to his sister Savannah's care he meets her psychiatrist, Dr. Susan 
Lowenstein. Dr. Lowenstein, desperate to unlock the door to her patient's self-destructive pattern, relies on 
Tom to be his sister's memory. What she doesn't realize is that the last thing Tom wants to do is remember. 
Haunted by a painful childhood and a domineering mother, Tom discovers the only thing worse than not remembering 
is not telling.
