Synopsis

Lou, 23, a queer hairdresser, has been fired and evicted due to her burgeoning alcoholism. Avery, 29, Lou's straight-laced sister, discovers that her husband is cheating on her again. And their shy brother Rio, 20, is totally aimless. Lou's best friend turned casual lover, Sasha, comes to admit serious feelings for Lou. Lou rejects Sasha leading to an argument with Avery, who is sick of people's callous treatment of those they claim to care about. In the midst of the fighting, Rio reveals he has been contacted by the father who abandoned them years prior. The three get drunk and reveal secrets about the abuse they suffered before their father left. Each must decide whether a reunion is in their best interests. When the meeting proves their fears correct, that their father cannot mend the damage he left in his wake, they realise that their best hope is each other.
