In sickness and health, through their best and darkest times, the Langdon family will live and love and suffer against the broad, merciless sweep of American history. The dark shadow of the Vietnam War hangs over every one. And though a few members of the family remain mired in the past, others will attempt to move beyond the lives they have always known and some will push forward as never before. In Iowa where the Langdons began, Joe sees that some aspects of life on the farm never change, while others are unrecognizable.
Claire, too, finds that marriage is not quite what she expected it to be. Lillian must watch as her brilliant, eccentric husband Arthur is destroyed by the guilt arising from his secretive government work. Frank, the eldest - restless, unhappy - ignores his troubled wife and instead finds himself distracted by a face from the past. For now Walter and Rosanna's sons and daughters are grown up and have children of their own.
When a funeral brings the Langdon family together once more, they little realize how much, over the coming years, each of their worlds will shift and change.
