Returning to his Bronx home following World War II, Timmy Cleary (Martin Sheen) discovers his middle class parents have drifted apart and quarrel at every slightest provocation. Once closer to his mother Nettie (Patricia Neal), Timmy finds himself bonding with his salesman father, John (Jack Albertson), but tries to remain neutral when intervening in their disputes. En route home after a day trip to the family's summer cottage with his father, Timmy purchases a bouquet of roses and suggests John present them to his wife.
