At first glance, Melina and Bob, Jodie and Devon might not be seen as "normal." Not that many people talk to invisible friends, escape from hospitals in their pajamas, or collect epitaphs. Not too many seventeen year old boys wear their Mother's bustiers. However, what these characters have found are various ways to cope with the past.
All, except Devon, have put it into storage. Devon posts a message on LostRelatives.com; Bastard son searching for George Remington Dayton, and finds his uncle Matthew, who has been looking for him.
Matthew, the seemingly normal one, brings everything into the open, and changes everybody. The family needs him, but in the end, he needs it more.
