Natalie Walker is the reason her siblings went to prison over 15 years ago. She fled California shortly after, and hasn't spoken to anyone in her family since. Now, Natalie finds out her estranged mother has died and left the family's historic Santa Cruz house to her. Sort of. The only way for Natalie and her siblings to inherit is for all 3 adult children to come back and claim it...together. Natalie drives to Santa Cruz expecting to see her siblings Lynn and Jake briefly, and get back to sorting out her life. But Jake, now an award-winning ornithologist, is missing. And Lynn, working as an undertaker in New York City, shows up with a teenage son. While Natalie and her nephew look for Jake, she unpacks the guilt she has held onto for so many years, wondering how (or if) she can salvage a relationship with her siblings after all this time.
