Cami (Heather Graham) and her daughter Aster (Sophie Nélisse) receive news of the death of her ex-husband and Aster's father. The new wife Rachel (Jodi Balfour) with her daughter Talulah get evicted and she reluctantly accepts Cami's offer to stay at her home.
It is a family drama of a different kind. It's a shorter Canadian indie. The story is intriguing with all kinds of cross currents. The overall theme of cheating is fascinating since the Craig is not there. These women have to deal with the aftermath and with each other. The writing could do with more humor and it could add some more drama for the third act. Maybe the daughters run off and the mothers can bond over the search. Nevertheless, this is an interesting little film with some interesting actresses.
Plot summary

interesting family
Pretty good.
Overall the movie was pretty good. I don't feel the actresses had a chance to shine as much as they could have. It was a slow start and then a rushed ending. Just when it started getting interesting there was only about 30 minutes left. I think it would have made a good TV show. Overall I was left wanting. I believe this really had a lot of potential that was wasted.
Surprisingly effective
This movie was better than I expected. While I'm a fan of Heather Graham movies, ordinarily they are rather quirky. This time the story contained well hidden twists which gave it a deeper resonance. Everyone was excellent and the two young actresses both stood out as well.
