“Misery loves family”
ComedyDrama
A look at the lives of the strong-willed women of the Weston family, whose paths have diverged until a family crisis brings them back to the Midwest house they grew up in, and to the dysfunctional woman who raised them.
VIBE
This is a raw, emotionally charged experience, a relentless descent into the heart of a deeply fractured family. Expect sharp, often cruel dialogue, simmering resentments, and moments of bleak humor that cut through the pervasive tension. It feels like watching a stage play unfold with unflinching intimacy.
