I Rosenthal non sono una famiglia come le altre. Eric e Hannah sono ebrei osservanti e vivono con i tre figli – Gideon, Elsie e Tovyah – e nonno Yosef, sopravvissuto alla Shoah, in una villa nella zona nord di Londra. Avvocato mite e dai modi cortesi lui, giornalista oltremodo ambiziosa lei, entrambi credono profondamente nella verità, parola per parola, dell’Antico Testamento, dunque in una vita dove Dio (e il demonio) sono presenti in ogni istante. Vita densa di fede e di precetti in cui i tre ragazzi, ciascuno per sé, crescono faticosamente in cerca di uno spazio proprio.

Forse non sarebbe successo niente se non fossero stati nel cuore dell'estate, con un mese e mezzo di noia umida alle spalle e un altro mese e mezzo davanti.

Mentre gli altri si sballano a Woodstock, New York non offre loro altro che un incontro con una veggente che, si dice nel quartiere, sarebbe in grado di predire la data di morte. I quattro ragazzi ci vanno, per gioco, per vestirsi di paura, per fare la rivoluzione a modo loro.
