Niki (Natalie Polisson) is the blushing bride on her wedding day. Aunt Beth and her uncle are over for a glass of celebratory champagne before heading off to church. Aunt Beth (Carolyn Bridget Kennedy) is the domineering older sister giving Anna, her sister and Niki’s mother a bit of a hard time. Ah yes family dynamics.
Well Anna and Aunt Beth’s mother has died and given that Anna reached menopause at 39 she is hell bent on having the marriage go through as this might be Niki’s last chance to be a mother. Anna decides to keep granny’s death a secret from Aunt Beth. After all she is doing her best given the situation.
On a bleak highway in Southern California witness an explosion cutting deep throughout both sisters’ camps. Very high emotions in contrast to the cloudy bleak setting. Was Anna’s best just that or was it simply the worst?
