Brooklyn, 1986. Bernard, ooit een succesrijke romanschrijver, en zijn vrouw Joan, een veelbelovende schrijfster, besluiten een punt achter hun huwelijk te zetten. Hun twee zonen Walt, 16, en Frank, 12, moeten alleen uit hun verwarrende en tegenstrijdige gevoelens zien te komen. De weg naar volwassenheid wordt voor Walt een moeilijke periode in zijn leven, terwijl die voor Frank noodgedwongen te vroeg komt.
