June 1991. A small town in the American heartland. A painting falls off the wall of the Becker family homestead. Drawing upon folklore, the matron interprets this event as a sign of impending death. The fleeting appearances of angels bear witness to the omen. Someone within the family circle will die over the next few days. Who will it be? Bagwell, a Marine sniper, has just returned home from the first Gulf War wounded and shell shocked. On the day of his injury, he received a Dear John letter from his wife, Brenda, who has taken up with his best friend, James. Emotionally distraught, Bagwell imagines their heads in the crosshairs of his rifle. Could this love triangle prove deadly to one of them? Or could it be Peter, inching his way out of the closet for the first time? His fugitive partner, Todd, fresh from filming Boy Toy #65, pulls Peter into the dark world of pornography. Maybe Peter's controlling father, Martin, will die, still devastated by the brutal murder of his wife ten years before. Or could it be Martin's brother, Sammie, struggling with the dark reminders of his combat duty in Vietnam? Could it be the child, Lily Rose, running blindly for safety, or the matron herself, fighting to alter the prophesy that the fallen painting has foretold? As thunderous storms roll across the landscape, tightly coiled tensions reach a breaking point.
