Synopsis
L’histoire se déroule à Coney Island, une station balnéaire, dans les années 1950. Ginny, une ancienne actrice lunatique devenue serveuse, a refait sa vie avec Humpty, veuf, qui exploite un manège. Le couple vit avec Richie, le petit garçon de Ginny, aux fortes tendances pyromanes. La tranquillité de la famille est ébranlée au retour de Carolina, 25 ans, la fille de Humpty. Ils s’étaient brouillés cinq ans auparavant lorsqu’elle avait épousé un gangster, au désarroi de Humpty. Sans ressources et voulant échapper aux griffes de son mari violent, Caroline se réfugie chez son père, sachant que son mari veut la tuer pour avoir fui et parlé à la police. Si la rancœur des années passées pousse initialement Humpty à rejeter sa fille, au fil des semaines, il adoucit son comportement et cherche désormais à recréer une relation harmonieuse avec elle, entre autres en lui finançant des cours du soir pour qu’elle puisse se relancer dans la vie, au lieu du boulot de serveuse qu’elle exerce temporairement aux côtés de Ginny.Actors
