Consequences
One small act. Years of ripples.
One small act, committed during an idyllic family summer holiday, sets off a ripple that doesn’t reveal its true shape until years later.
In Allbrite we met a large, diverse family living in small-town America — their strengths, their struggles. Now the second generation are settled and getting on with their lives. But when the ripples reach Allbrite, the consequences follow on without abating.
Grandpa and Grandma O’Brien had six children with diverse personalities and aspirations. Those children now have families of their own, facing new struggles and modern life. Can they do better than their grandparents? And when newcomers join the family, what will be the consequences?
