Teenager Annabeth Gish recalls her troubled childhood in 1950s Las Vegas. Dad Jon Voight drinks too much and beats her while mom carries on like nothing is wrong. Ellen Barkin is a sympathetic aunt. Meanwhile, the city prepares for an atomic test in the nearby desert, but this is little more than background noise and has no relevance to the story, leaving only the rather predictable melodramatic elements to propel the plot.
