Highlights
Synopsis
Action whirls around one disastrous Memorial Day weekend at the Beckle cabin in the Texas hill country.
Aubry, his four daughters, and Great Aunt Tammy gather there for the first time since Mrs. Beckle's death.
Nothing goes right.
Aunt Tammy is trapped in the bathroom.
Daughter Cesca arrives bearing scars from a round with her abusive husband.
Her sister Pidge, on sudden leave from the group home for the emotionally disturbed where she lives, shows up in Cesca's car with Cesca's chloroformed husband locked in the trunk.
The Beckles must pull together or the family will self-destruct.
Their strongest ally is their most alienated member.
