In seinem packenden, Pulitzer-Preis nominierten Drama lasst Jon Robin Baitz seine Figuren unbarmherzig um die Wahrheit und damit die Schuldfrage ringen. Die Schriftstellerin Brooke kehrt zum ersten Mal nach sechs Jahren in ihr Elternhaus in Palm Springs zuruck. Doch hat sie nicht vor, mit ihren erzkonservativen, republikanischen Eltern und ihrem Bruder ein friedvolles Weihnachtsfest zu verbringen. Vielmehr kundigt sie an, ihre Memoiren demnachst veroffentlichen zu wollen, in denen sie schonungslos mit den Geschehnissen rund um den terroristischen Bombenanschlag ihres alteren Bruders, damals im Sog der Anti-Vietnam-Krieg Proteste, und dessen Tod, abrechnen will. Ihre Eltern ziehen alle emotionalen Register, in der Hoffnung, sie umzustimmen, doch Brooke gibt nicht nach. Alte Wunden werden erbarmungslos aufgerissen und bringen lang behutete Geheimnisse ans Tageslicht.
