The Wetherly family—husband Tom, wife Carol, and children Brad, Mary Liz, and Scottie—live in the fictional suburb of Hamelin, California, north of Santa Rosa. Tom, the breadwinner, works in San Francisco, 60 miles south. On a routine afternoon, Carol listens to an answering machine message from Tom saying he is on his way home for dinner.
