As their patriarch's health declines, a dysfunctional Southern family scrambles to predict how their father's estate will be split up. His greedy grown children -- Sara Lee (Tess Harper), Evalita (Beverly D'Angelo), Orville (Beau Bridges) and Lurlene (Amy Wright) -- have all come home to pay their respects, but they can't wait to get their hands on the all-important will -- which their father announces he's misplaced.
