Spoilers ahead
Megan, Chloë Sevigny, an heiress, invites Linda, Maya Goldsmith, from her yoga class, and Grace, Jena Malone, and Hella, Halley Wegryn Gross, two interns from her museum job, to spend a weekend at her expansive country home in upstate New York. The group arrives together, and Megan prepares a meal which they eat outside at a picnic table. She notes that the phone lines are down, effectively cutting them off from the outside world for the weekend. Grace peppers Megan with probing questions during dinner, focusing on Megan’s deceased parents from whom she inherited the house, while Hella gently chides her for being confrontational. Megan gifts each woman a crystal garden she has prepared in a jar, setting a quiet, almost ritual tone for their secluded stay.
