Synopsis

A mother's death draws her three disparate, distant daughters back to their ramshackle childhood home where they are forced to confront their mother's legacy of half-truths, unfinished business and family secrets. The three sisters are finally able to lay to rest the ghosts of the past, along with the ashes of their mother's body.
