What happens when you lose the foundation of your family? In the wake of a husband and father's death, the family members he leaves behind find themselves adrift — and in danger of drifting apart — as they each try to find meaning in a world without the man who held them together.
Mother Suzanne (Andie MacDowell) tentatively seeks companionship — but her attempts at dating only drive a wedge between her and older son Nicholas (Chris O'Dowd), whose own relationship with his girlfriend is disintegrating. Meanwhile, younger son Chris (James Adomian) deals with grief in his own complicated — and increasingly worrying — way.
What plays out between the trio is a beautifully observed, powerfully emotional journey that speaks to the strength of family ties.
