Three daughters return home to there parents rural Ohio home when there alcoholic father goes missing and they have to confront there drug addicted mother who is battling mouth cancer. It turns out that the dad committed suicide after a letter he left that the mom reveals after the funeral. One daughter is trying to hide that fact that she is separated, the other one is engaged to a man much older than her and the third has a secret relationship with her 1st cousin who turns out to be her half brother.
The movie has lots of twists and turns with a mostly well-known cast. I recommend this movie but it is not for kids. I give it a 4 out of 5.
