Bev is the Smart One, who finally leaves her artistic
ambitions in chalk dust (and her humor-impaired husband in
the arms—and legs—of his nubile protégée) to become a
schoolteacher. Clare is the Pretty One, who married well
and seems to be living a designer version of the suburban
dream. Joey is the Wild One, struggling to stay clean and
sober now that she's used up her fifteen minutes of fame
as a one-hit-wonder rock star.
They love each
other but mix like oil, water, and hundred-proof gin . . .
a combination that threatens to combust over family
tensions, suspected infidelities, a devastating accident,
a stunning confession, and the sudden reappearance of
their handsome, now all-grown-up former neighbor, Kenny
Waxman, who's back in town making his mark as a TV comedy
writer.
It seems they'll never understand where
their differences begin and their own destructive
tendencies end. Then it happens: the sisters discover a
decades-old body stuffed inside an industrial drum and
begin a bold, heartbreaking, and sometimes hilarious
journey that will either bring them together . . . or tear
them apart for good.
