Herb and Audry have had a near perfect relationship for over fifty years. This anniversary, Herb has a few surprises in store for his three estranged daughters; Daisy, the youngest, Ivy, the middle child, and Rain, the eldest. Herb, having recently been diagnosed with a fatal brain tumour, announces that he is choosing to die on his own terms and is not seeking treatment. Not only that, but he wants to spend his remaining hours with them getting to know their inner most secrets and finding a way to clear the air between the three.

As the daughters grapple with one another and wrestle their own demons, their father’s fate slowly becomes a reality, and Audry also realizes that she’s not in a position to say goodbye either. Unfortunately what should be a weekend celebration of life, slowly turns into a darker reality as all five are forced to look at themselves in a way they never have before. After all, it’s only with our family that we can really hurt.
