- This is the story about a lie...an insidious lie that ripped the heart out of a family. A 32 year old woman in a self imposed exile, a guilt ridden priest, two sisters who blame each other for the death of a young sibling, a father who feels he is to blame for the child's death and a mother who tries to hold this shattered family together are the characters that draw you into this stirring tale of guilt and unspoken secrets that won't let you go. The MOORE family has allowed the death of a baby to haunt their lives for twenty-five years. Finger pointing and guilt laden accusations drive a wedge so deep into this family that it seems impossible that they will ever recover. But they do.
- On a cold February day in New Jersey, three generations of the Marino men leave on a trip to Tampa, Florida in a camouflage-painted Hummer. BEN, the grandfather, in his 70's and of failing health, spearheaded this journey after watching a PBS show about the great Joe DiMaggio. Ben claims that watching the show has given him a sense of his own mortality. But Ben is a conniving curmudgeon with an ulterior motive who knows how to manipulate people. MARK, Ben's son, played minor league ball but had his career cut short by an injury. His whole life since he left baseball has been a series of failures, including a divorce, which culminated in a strained relationship with his son, DASH. Dash, the golden boy, plays minor league ball for the New York Yankees. This trip to the Yankee's spring home in Tampa is his chance to make it to the "bigs." Like most ballplayers these days he's spoiled and has no appreciation for the history of the game. He lacks patience for his grandfather and hasn't an ounce of respect for his father. It is along this trip down south that the three men are able to heal old wounds as they are drawn together by two common denominators...the love of baseball and the love of family. Then just as old wounds are starting to heal and Florida is in sight, a violent act jeopardizes everything.
- Spanning a ten-year period, this story follows SAL VALENTI, a middle-aged gay butcher from Brooklyn, who has a heart of gold. Sal runs an Italian specialty shop with his aging mother, MAMA, and it is after the death of Sal's lover that he starts to channel his energies into first, fixing broken alley cats that live in the shop's back alley, and then fixing broken people that he meets in his everyday life. It is through one such relationship that Sal develops with a shy, socially awkward, seventeen year old boy named, JOEY SALVO that we really get to see the heart and soul of Sal, as he mentors Joey and gives his life direction. Along the way a pretty young girl, LILA CRUZ, early 20s, rents the apartment above Sal's shop to escape an abusive relationship with her live-in boyfriend. Like all of the broken people in Sal's life he tries to help and heal Lila, and slowly over time she responds to Sal's tender approach...food and love. Just when all of the broken people in Sal's life start to get their lives going in the right direction something goes terribly wrong. One night Sal gets in the middle of Lila and her nasty ex-boyfriend. While trying to save Lila from his abuse, Sal finds he can't work his magic on him and lives are changed forever.
