The story

Laura Reynolds (Taylor) is a free-spirited, unwed, single mother living with her preteen son Danny in an isolated beach house in Big Sur, California. She makes a modest living as an artist and homeschools her son out of concern that he will be compelled to follow stifling conventional social norms in a public school. Recently, Danny has gotten into legal trouble three times, one of indecently touching a girl his age, and shooting a fawn to understand if hunting is "fun".
