Herb (Art Hindle) and Audry (Jill Frappier) have had a near perfect relationship for over fifty years. This anniversary Herb has a few surprises in store for his three estranged daughters; Rain (Michelle Nolden) the eldest, Ivy (Tara Spencer-Nairn), the middle child, and Daisy (Natalie Brown), the youngest. Herb, having recently been diagnosed with a fatal brain tumour, announces that he is choosing to die on his own terms and is not seeking treatment. Not only that, but he wants to spend his remaining days getting to know his daughters inner most secrets and finding a way to clear the air between the three.

As the daughters grapple with one another and wrestle their own demons, their father’s condition worsens, and Audry realizes that she’s not ready to say goodbye to her true love. What should be a weekend celebration of life slowly turns into a darker reality as all five family members are forced to look at themselves in ways they never have before. Truth will bring them together, home will set them free.
