Gardner and Fanny Church are preparing to move out of their Beacon Hill house to their summer cottage on Cape Cod. Gardner, once a famous poet, now is retired, as he slips in and out of senility, his wife Fanny valiantly tries to keep them both afloat. They have asked their daughter, Mags, to come home and help them move. Mags agrees, for she hopes as well to finally paint their portrait. She is now on the verge of artistic celebrity herself and hopes, by painting her parents, to come to terms with them and they with her. Mags’ insecurities, and Imperfect childhood memories serve to disrupt the moving process, causing emotional havoc for her parents and herself. Fanny and Gardner’s portrait shows the magical relationship of how they once were and as they really are now.
