It is 1987 and in the aftermath of a great storm, Cora sets out with her nine-year-old daughter to register the birth of her son. Her husband has ordered her to follow a long-standing family tradition and call the child after him but when faced with the decision, Cora hesitates. Should her child share his name with generations of fearful men, or should he be given a chance to break the mould? Her choice in this moment will shape the course of their lives. Seven years later, he is Gordon, raised under his father's cruel influence, the apple of his eye.

Coras valg bliver skæbnesvangert, ikke bare for hende selv, men for alle involverede. Over tre årtier, oprulles tre versioner af en families liv. De vidt forgrenede konsekvenser, som sygelig vold og kontrol får for alle de involverede, skildres gennem tre skæbnesvangre navnevalg med tre mulige udgange i en rystende og hjerteskærende historie om meningsløs ondskab, men også om ukueligt livsmod, kærlighed og overlevelseskraft.
