But Angie seems overly anxious and her worst fears are realized when her seemingly healthy son dies in the hospital from SIDS. Although husband Russ (Louis) tries to be as understanding and caring as possible, Anglie sinks into severe depression, especially when her friends, in their discomfort, begin to withdraw from her.
