Estranged from her husband (Sam Shepard) and left with a nearly empty nest, suburban mother of seven Mag Singer (Susan Sarandon) gets a terrifying jolt when she learns that her son Percival (Matt Keeslar) -- a Marine stationed on the Sinai Peninsula -- may have been killed in a terrorist attack. As the family regroups to await an update, old grudges play out against a tension-filled backdrop. Marcia Gay Harden and Robert Sean Leonard co-star.
