Eric LaRue follows Janice (Judy Greer), the mother of a 17-year-old boy who shot and killed three of his classmates in school. As the days move toward a meeting of the mothers affected by her son's violence, Janice struggles for insight through exchanges with her husband, pastor and coworkers. The story becomes not about the violence but about what we choose to think and do in order to survive trauma. The sympathy we feel for Janice is complicated by the dark path she takes to find her way toward healing.
