Plot

Veronica wants to remain in jail for a sexual assault she knows she's been wrongfully indicted for. She and her father, Jim, find themselves acting out of the bounds of good behavior as the past haunts them.

A man's daughter a high school teacher who is accused of abusing her position of authority with a student. When Veronica rebuffs Jim's attempts to secure her early release, Jim begins to take out his frustrations through his work as a food inspector.

Jim, a conscientious food safety inspector, and his talented daughter, Veronica, a young music teacher, try to unravel their complex stories and their inextricably intertwined secrets. But, after a malicious prank, Veronica is wrongfully accused of committing a sex-related offence; a hideous crime that threatens to put in jeopardy her brilliant career. Now, as Veronica strongly believes that she deserves to be punished, feeling guilty for silencing the emotional burdens of her past, Jim is, once more, unable to tend to his daughter's needs, and above all, comprehend her baffling and implacable attitude. And, more and more, Jim's anxiety is affecting his professionalism, his life, and his already fragile relationship with Veronica. Can the father and daughter wipe the slate clean and start afresh?—Nick Riganas

Following the passing of her father Jim Davis, a widowed restaurateur turned public health inspector in food services, Veronica Davis is meeting with Father Greg in Jim's wish to have his funeral held in Father Greg's church, inexplicable in Jim seemingly having no connection to it including not being a parishioner. In Father Greg asking her to provide information about Jim to help him better prepare for the service, Veronica slowly opens up about their relationship, which as the stories progress becomes more and more complicated. One of the more unusual parts of their story is Jim taking care of Benjamin, Veronica's pet rabbit that she had since age nine, while Veronica was in prison for a crime she, as a former high school band teacher, finally admitted to Jim that she did not commit but for which she confessed to the police to committing. Subsequently, she dissuaded Jim from helping her get out of prison or at least to get her sentence reduced in she believing that she deserved to be in prison. Veronica's stories also includes those about her music lessons as a child with a single mother named Alicia, the lessons which Jim often took her to, and Veronica's ultimate friendship and romantic relationship with Alicia's similarly aged son, Walter, the two who, if she will be honest with Father Greg, are at the center of her want to be in prison and the strain that she had with her father.—Huggo
