Paul Lohman and his wife, Claire, are meeting his brother, Serge, and Serge's wife, Babette, for dinner at an exclusive restaurant. At the start it seems like the story is going to be a scathing review by Paul of his politician brother's idiosyncrasies. The book soon evolves into a tale of their children, teen boys who have committed a horrific crime. The dinner is a pretense for the parents to discuss how they are going to protect their children from the consequences of their actions. The result is a twisted and unpleasant story of crime, mental illness, and failure to take responsibility for one's actions. The end leaves you wishing they all would go to jail for a long long time.
