Each member of the Forsythe family is on the run in one way or another: Violet, the oldest, from a disintegrating marriage; Chandler, the eldest son, from a breakup with the most desired debutante on the entire East Coast, Mattie Somers, The Philadelphia Rocket; and the youngest, Jeremiah, from both the long arm of the law and a family named Stanton bent on revenge for the killing of one of their own. Even their mother, June, is experiencing difficulty dealing with the death of her volatile husband, Ben. How this family perseveres throughout the tempestuous 1920’s is the tale these Fugitives have to tell.
