After learning she has breast cancer, Margot May, 27, quiet and callous, tall and lithe, returns to her childhood home in Providence, Rhode Island to be under the care and financial support of her estranged step-mother, Robin. Margot ran away at 19 after the death of her father and has not been home since. When old wounds make remaining with Robin impossible, Margot escapes to her family beach home where her half-sister, Maxine, summers. Their terse and combative interactions become compassion and understanding as Margot reflects on her learned behaviors and discovers more about the little sister she left behind.
