Tragedy unites the resendents of a small town.
Soon after, a big-city lawyer, driven by his own demons, stirs up the anger of the townspeople.
In the ensuing atmosphere of suspicion and doubt, a teenager manages to regain her dignity and re-unite the community.
Because of her courage, the townspeople come to live in the realm of the “sweet hereafter”, a place for those who are in peace whith their fate.
