Plot
After a tragic accident occurs in the home of a Hasidic rabbi, the family is forced to navigate the unexpected consequences. Taking place in contemporary Brooklyn, the Grand Rabbi's wife is forced to reconsider her loyalties when she finds out that the culprit is her grandson, the heir to her husband's dynasty. Rather than calling the Hasidic vigilante patrol, she calls the police, which in turn ruins 60 years of tradition that she and her husband put into place.[3]
