Nell Davenport and her boyfriend Brooks, skip out on a stint at rehab and break-in to the family's summer cottage on a picturesque Adirondack lake. When the rest of the family arrives to spend the Fourth of July without her, fireworks fly and family conflicts begin anew. Her mother, the well-known TV psychologist Dr. Kitty, attempts to control her wayward daughter and Nell's father, a gentle albeit passive Professor tries to keep the peace.
