After his father dies, a fast-talking salesman returns home expecting to settle the estate and leave. Instead, he is handed a secret instruction: deliver $150,000 to a sister he never knew he had and stay out of her life. As he tracks her down, he finds a single mother and recovering alcoholic struggling to raise her son, and what begins as a simple errand turns into a hidden, uneasy connection. The longer he stays, the harder it becomes to keep the truth from her, his mother, and himself. Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks lead a story about buried family history, guilt, and the bond that forms before either of them knows what it will cost.
