Living in rural America, the Kimbrough family is a normally odd bunch: Easy, the patriarch and local butcher, is grieving over the recent loss of his wife, while hiding a secret ongoing affair for years. Beagle, his youngest son, who was left to care for his ailing mother, works in the local high school cafeteria and the eldest son, Guy, has been away from the family for years while pursuing his rock star dream in the big city until the day he learns of his mother’s passing and that he’s missed the funeral. Upon Guy’s return home, relation ships between the characters begin to unravel. Beagle’s pent-up emotions connect with Georgia Kaminski, a terminally ill teenage girl wanting to experience love before it’s too late. Easy’s long-time affair with Marg, Georgia’s eccentric grandmother, is finally exposed to the Kimbrough children.
„The pacing is well-timed, and the script does a good job of making audience read between the lines.“ (Erik Davis, Cinematival, Mai 2007)
