Brooke Wyeth (Rachel Griffiths), returns home to Palm Springs after a six year absence to celebrate Christmas with her parents (Stockard Channing and Stacy Keach), her brother (Thomas Sadoksi) and her aunt (Judith Light). Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir dredging up a pivotal and tragic event in the family´s history - a wound they don´t want reopened. In effect, she draws a line in the sand and dares them all to cross it.
