The cicadas are singing, the temperature is rising, and the Lafayette family is returning to Arkansas to deal with what remains of their father’s estate.  Toni imagines they’ll spend the weekend honoring Dad’s memory. Bo wants to recoup the cost of his end-of-life care. But when their estranged brother Franz shows up, and Bo’s children discover mysterious and disturbing objects among the clutter, buried resentments erupt and long-hidden secrets emerge. In this provocative dark comedy, the family is forced to revisit the ghosts of their past and face the true meaning of inheritance.

What do we owe the past? And how much?
