When his 15-year-old daughter, Bonny, winds up pregnant by an old running buddy, Jack is outraged.

There's Ruthie, Jack's sister and local femme fatale, who does what with whom and when she pleases; the old priest, Father Horabet, who harbors sins of his own; Anna, Jack's wife, who quietly sustains herself and her daughter through the storm of scandal; and Johnny, Jack's son, who faces howls of scorn pitching in little league baseball.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally the town gathers for Jack's trial.
