Grand dreams turn dark when Tim and Sophie Becker buy a run-down brownstone in Brooklyn to renovate into their dream home. After a deadly confrontation, Tim and Sophie make a fateful decision that calls into question everything they thought stood for, threatening their marriage and their future.

But sharing space with a lineup of lunatics proves enough to drive both boys crazy.
