Opening in small-town New England in 2005, Frances has been back home for a couple of months after dropping out of school. 3 years after their mom's suicide, Frances can't help but feel lost and uncertain about where her life is going. Though the sisters differ from each other, they often find themselves confiding with each other and share many moments of understanding. Emily starts by getting engaged to her long-term boyfriend, Oliver, and sees her whole future in him. On the other hand, Frances feels stuck and uncertain of her own path and her younger sister's choices. Frances often is sarcastic and aloof and tends to isolate herself from others. When Adam is introduced to her, she becomes more open and present and allows herself to enjoy the moments. Throughout the tragedy that the family endures, the two of them switch roles in the family dynamic. Emily becomes depressed and on edge, and Frances is the one trying to hold everyone, including herself, together.
