Providence Byrd drove the family car in reverse and ran over her mother thirteen years ago. That moment of teenage fury made her a felon and destroyed her family. Now her mother has vanished under suspicious circumstances. Providence tells herself she's coming home to find closure, but she really wants to confront her abusive father Tom Byrd. She knows he's responsible for whatever happened to her mother. The search forces Providence to face her younger sisters Harmony and Grace, both damaged by her attempt to kill their mother. Harmony wants Providence to make their father pay. Grace begs her to break the cycle of violence that has consumed their family. Providence must choose between her hunger for revenge and her hope of healing the bonds with her sisters.
