Austrian housewife Manus narrow escape from the catastrophic consequences of The Butterfly Effect aboard an airliner only sets her up for an even more shockingly random fate. As the devastating results of a traffic accident transform Manus family and the young occupants of the other car, the personal and circumstantial fallout envelopes an entire community. Raw sexuality, burgeoning romance, suburban sprawl and unsolved child abduction form a four-season dramatic fresco that exposes the lonely yearning and thwarted redemption ricocheting the human particles of Free Radicals off of each other.
