London-based Georgia Carter has long been estranged from her wealthy, conservative South Carolina family. Until she gets the text: dad’s dead.

As Georgia returns for the funeral, she is reunited with her favourite brother, Oliver – and meets his AA sponsor, Sam. Georgia and Sam are instantly drawn together, but Georgia can’t help noticing how her brother looks at Sam, and the last thing she wants is to hurt her only real family.

Tensions rise when their father’s will reveals an inheritance to a mysterious stranger. To find out who – and more importantly, why – Georgia, Oliver and Sam set off on a road trip to uncover the truth about their father’s life.

As secrets – both old and new – threaten to push the Carters beyond breaking point, there are only so many cracks a damaged family can take before it shatters.
