Two years out of college, Bia Fernandes leaves a dead-end job to work and live in a psychiatric halfway house, where she learns more than she expects from its ex-patients - just as the Watergate scandal in the U.S. comes to a head in 1974.

Swanson House is a funky mansion that will be torn down for a highway coming through a dying mill town in Massachusetts. The state, which is closing its mental hospitals, hires inexperienced staff like Bia to help people make the transition. The residents work menial jobs, take meds, and interact like family.

But where others have failed, Bia has it in her to help what the staff member she replaces called dented cans. She tries to see the good in them.
