The story
In the 1980s, Annie and Arthur Pope are a married couple who are fugitives from justice.
The bomb accidentally blinded and paralyzed a janitor who was not supposed to be in the building at the time.
As the film begins, he is seventeen, and the Pope family, now with younger son Harry, have relocated to the New Jersey town of Waterford and assumed new identities.
