Upon arrival at her new husband Charlie's picturesque farm, Lily (Friel) struggles to earn the respect of Charlie's stern, traditional-minded mother (Brenda Fricker) and deeply embittered sister (Moly Parker). Though relations are strained, the true test of what it takes to make a family emerges when Charlie returns from the war and attempts to find a peaceful common ground among the disagreeable women. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
