For as long as they can remember, the Grey sisters have been one. Forced to band together after the death of their mother, the girls' unspoken language of love and loyalty is what has carried them through the pain. Sadly, their father has not been so lucky. Withdrawn and somewhat of a recluse, he finds solace in the fact that his girls have remained by his side. United and bound by devotion, this family will survive even the fiercest of storms.
Winona, the oldest of the clan, has had her share of strife. Pleasantly plump and stubborn as a mule, her intelligence is the shining beacon of her existence. As the caretaker, the brunt of the family's responsibility rests heavily on her shoulders. Aurora, the middle sister, is happily married with two perfect children. Oftentimes, she plays referee when tempers begin to rise. And finally, the youngest daughter, Vivi Ann, is the family's bright ray of sunshine admired for her beauty and care-free spirit.
As these strong, independent women become individuals in their own right, they come to discover that harmony can only exist for so long in a not-so-perfect world. Without realizing the implications of her actions, Vivi Ann crosses the line of forbidden love by dating Winona's childhood friend. Rather than airing her objections, Winona chooses to accept her sister's latest dalliance certain of its most likely disastrous fate.
Within months, their unassuming romance takes a serious turn leaving Winona drowning in her feelings of betrayal and resentment. As if she has blinders on prohibiting the truth to be seen, she does the unthinkable jeopardizing everything their beloved mother has ever taught them about family and honor. Will the Grey sisters be able to survive? Or will the family be torn apart forever?
