Following the disappearance of their father Beverly (Sam Shepard, 'Ruffian'), the Weston clan descends upon the Midwestern family home to help find him. This will not be an easy family reunion – and not just because of Beverly’s mysterious vanishing. His estranged daughters have been living divergent lives and are returning to more than the isolated home they grew up in: they are back to face the iron-fisted matriarch (Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, 'The Iron Lady') who raised them.
