Anna is stunned by her family's response after she returns home from being locked in a psych ward for three months. They are managing just as she remembers-uninterested and aloof. Anna's parents and eight siblings act as though psychiatrists and mental hospitals are routine, a circumstance far from the truth. Dr. Ellison, Anna's psychiatrist, is also perplexed. Could it be that Anna's family is mortified that one of their own couldn't survive without the help of others? Anna's family gathers for an unusual occasion on an unusual day. It's now or never. Anna makes a gut wrenching decision to alter her family's fate. But when secretive pasts begin to unravel, it's unclear if this family, who desperately needs saving, can be rescued.
