His home is Newhall, an ordinary American town, which has still not forgiven Marvin for the terrible thing he did all those years ago. He is welcomed back, more or less, to his shabby, run-down family home by two barking pit bulls and his terminally ill mother, Bernadette. While playing cards together at night, eating canned food and drinking beer, Marvin and his mother begin to slowly bond again.
