In the winter of 1934, the Great Depression is still heating up in America. In a dilapidated board-house in Duluth, Minnesota, the effects are felt the most profoundly. Owner Nick Laine fights to stop the bank from seizing the property as his wife Elizabeth continues to battle dementia and occasionally shows signs of a clear head. Despite the fact he has been having an affair with Mrs. Neilsen, one of the renters, is she really what he desires?

There are problems with Nick and Elizabeth's off-spring as well. Gene has an alcohol problem and no clear direction in life, and Marianne is single and five months pregnant. Visitors and various eccentric locals come and go, each with their own mysteries and backstories. Amidst the poetic music of Bob Dylan, their secrets—which range from imprisonment to blackmail to morphine addiction—are slowly revealed.
