Danny and Maeve Conroy grow up in the lavish Dutch House, a grand mansion in the suburbs of Philadelphia purchased by their father after his real estate success transforms the family’s fortunes. Despite the wealth surrounding them, their childhood is marked by emotional distance, especially from their father, and the absence of their mother, who has left the family. The one constant in their lives is their close bond as siblings, as they navigate childhood together within the walls of the house.
Their fragile stability is shattered when their father brings home a new wife, Andrea. Her arrival sets in motion a chain of events that leads to Danny and Maeve being exiled from the only home they have ever truly known, thrusting them back into hardship and uncertainty.
As the years pass, the siblings remain deeply connected by memory, loss, and the unresolved pull of their past. Bound to each other and to the Dutch House itself, they struggle to understand what they lost, what they survived, and whether it is possible to finally let go of a childhood that continues to shape their adult lives.
