Chloe Steele, a student from the University of Central Arkansas, returns home from college to surprise her father, Rayford Steele, on his birthday. What begins as a family reunion quickly becomes a brewing storm of secrets and sudden, startling changes. Chloe’s mother, Irene, has recently embraced a fervent faith and begins speaking with a zeal that unsettles Chloe. The tensions at home are amplified when Chloe notices her father’s odd behavior: he’s flirted with a flight attendant named Hattie Durham, has removed his wedding ring, and a set of London-bound tickets his daughter didn’t know about points to a trip he’d secretly planned.
