A bittersweet comedy-drama about a daughter's return home to reconnect with a distant father, discovering that what she thought she needed (money and letters) pales beside what she actually needs (family and understanding).

Actress Reese Holden has been offered a small fortune by a book editor if she can secure for publication the love letters that her father, a reclusive novelist, wrote to her mother, who has since passed away. Returning to Michigan, Reese finds that an ex-grad student and a would-be musician have moved in with her father, who cares more about his new friends than he does about his own health and well-being.
