Years later,Hannah’s granddaughter Summer, a soon-to-be bride, has planned a weekend event thatprompts a major family reunion. But once relatives come together to celebrate Summer’ s wedding, generational secrets that have spanned decades slowly come to the surface.
Blowing in belatedly and stoking long-standing resentments is Summer’s older sister,Misa, an international model. Unbeknownst to them, the sisters share something besidesa feud: they have inherited the depression that had darkened the life of their mother,Elizabeth. While Summer relies on God to keep her from the abyss, Misa submergesherself in drinks and men.
