The once thriving Sparks Kennels are now empty, everyone scattered. When son Alex hears of a terrible crime and his mother’s institutionalization, he returns to find out the full story. With his mother Pauline in the prison hospital and his father Commodore fighting lung disease, he struggles to get his foster sister Shawna to explain how it all fell apart. Shawna and Alex clash over how much the past should be revered or abolished. Shawna’s motives are suspect as she smuggles in alcohol to bribe Pauline for information. When Pauline receives permission to visit her dying husband at home, Alex finally gets the chance to confront her about her crime. But it becomes apparent that Pauline’s damaged mind has retreated to nostalgia and any truth about the events or the motives will have to be reconstructed through what Alex can force out of Shawna. Unwilling to keep engaging in Shawna’s games, Alex decides to tear out the dog kennels and raze the land to erase the memories of the past. His decision forces Shawna to face the truth about what Pauline has done and the inability to recapture the past, which forces both of them to realize Pauline’s guilt is not hers alone and the past can’t just be absolved by confession but must confronted.
