Bessie lives in Florida where she cares for her pain-ridden aunt and ailing father, Marvin, who is confined to his bed and unable to speak. When Bessie is forced to contact her long-estranged sister, Lee, for help, the sisters’ reunion is uneasy at best. Long buried recriminations come to the surface even as love slowly overwhelms Lee’s veneer of selfishness and glib denial.
