When Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz), a British-born dealer in regional, “outsider” art, travels from Chicago to North Carolina to pursue a local painter for her gallery, she and her brand-new husband George (Alessandro Nivola) extend the trip to include an introduction to his family. Madeleine relies almost entirely on her sister-in-law, Ashley (Amy Adams) to help navigate family dinners, church meetings and Ashley’s baby shower, all while desperately trying to close the deal on the artist. Tensions mount when Ashley goes into labour and each family member’s priorities, Madeleine’s included, are confronted.
