A wife and mother talks about her home and the people it shelters: the family she keeps under one roof, the gold dust that seems to settle over them all, and the plump cherubs she imagines on her spotless fitted carpet. Lately even her daughter reproaches her for never writing the famous novel she supposedly has in her. What begins as a peaceful confession turns into a study of delicate balances within the family, of right and wrong blurring, and of the menace hidden in attraction, and takes on the tension of a psychological thriller.
