Description

One wintry New Year's Evening, while in the middle of the Great Depression, Dr. James Delaney--haunted by the slaughters of the Great War, and forgotten by his wife and child--returns home to locate his three-year-old son on his doorstep, left by his mom in Delaney's treatment. Dealing with this unforeseen appearance, Delaney employs Flower, a difficult, good Sicilian lady with a secret in her past. Gradually, as the child and Flower start to take care of the great physician, the numbness in Delaney starts to soften.
