The story

The film opens with home-video footage of Bill and Kate at the beach with their young son, Sam. In the present day, a young man reads a short story to a small group about a boy and girl whose lives will be irrevocably changed, but his audience barely listens. Bill and Kate are introduced as a married couple who are rigid, career-focused, and emotionally distant.
