Pour chaque vie, il y a une mort. Et pour chaque personne, il y a une envie que seulement peu assouvisse : écouter la voix obscure qui nous dit d'éteindre la vie d'une autre personne. Vous pouvez marcher dans la rue et effleurer l'épaule d'un inconnu avant d'échanger un sourire poli, sans vous douter que ce même inconnu s'imagine en train de contempler votre corps ensanglanté au moment de votre dernier souffle. Il y a un endroit pour ces personnes. Ils ont tous tué, ils y ont tous pensé, certains veulent arrêter, d'autres veulent parler quand les derniers auraient besoin d'écouter.

Lucy (Sarah Bolger) is a self-confessed tomboy who gets on well with her father Chuck (James Marsden), but is frequently separated from him for months on end when he works in Canada. Her relationship with her mother Lainee (Claire Danes) is easy-going provided she keeps the house tidy. Lucy is even allowed to drive her mother's car, even though she is too young to apply for a license. When her father comes back, which is only 3 times a year, Lucy says that she skips a whole week of school and that Lainee lies to Chuck about not having a job and stays home. Chuck appears to be what Lucy calls an "old-fashioned" man because he wants to provide for the family and therefore looks down upon Lainee having a job.
