Ordinary People

The Jarretts are an upper-middle-class family in Lake Forest, a wealthy suburb north of Chicago. They are trying to return to normal life after experiencing the accidental drowning of their older teenage son, Buck, and the attempted suicide of their younger and surviving son, Conrad. Conrad has recently returned home after spending four months in a psychiatric hospital, where he feels alienated from his family and friends and seeks help from a psychiatrist, Dr. Tyrone Berger.
