After losing their family patriarch, Beverly Weston, three generations gather at their family home in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, to uncover the mysterious circumstances surrounding his apparent suicide.  Constantly instigated by the cruelty and addiction of the newly widowed Violet, the family uncovers a myriad of secrets and traumas as their true history of dysfunction comes to light.

The decaying skeleton of a three-story, century-old Oklahoma farmhouse serves as the setting for this play, with wall treatments stripped away to reveal the action within multiple rooms and levels.
