Set in a Boston suburb in the 1950s, Motel Rasdell tells the story of how worlds collide and secrets are revealed when cracks in the veneer of a "perfect" nuclear family appear in the form of a clandestine involvement with members of society's seediest fringe as themes of hypocrisy, home and family are explored.
