In the glare of a Palm Springs Christmas, a family gathers—and fractures—as long-held secrets surface. A gripping drama of love, truth, and political legacy.
Brooke Wyeth returns home to Palm Springs to visit her parents after a six-year absence. A once-promising novelist, she announces to her family the imminent publication of a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family's history – a wound that her parents don't want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it.
Please Note: Includes intense family conflict, discussions of suicide, mental illness, and political tension. Contains strong language.
