The suburban Chicago house hums with 1979 tension. Keith paces, adjusting frames and resetting the table, obsessed with perfection. The eccentric family, draped in thrifted 'finery,' prepares for dinner. Ann lingers upstairs; Hugh plates the meal. Keith stands out in soft green pants, a patterned vest, and a cream jacket. No tie—just a knotted scarf tucked against his chest, his dirty blonde hair framing a face of haughty, protective care.
