Drama serial centred around four sisters - Nita, Phil, Beth and Alice - who are reunited for the first time in 20 years when their estranged father dies. Burdened by their own secrets, the four are torn between a desire to uncover the truth behind a cataclysmic event that shattered their family and a need to keep it hidden. At Stan's funeral, youngest sister Alice is especially disturbed by her dad's death and brings along Bryce, a 'transactional dynamics' therapist for support. Dennis' grief turns to bitterness and he takes great delight in telling everyone that the will contains a shock.
