Meanwhile proud middle sister Gina is struggling to raise her eight-year-old twins—and protect them from the increasing fury of their volatile father. Impulsive brother Rick, the baby of the family, is living the high life—dodging commitment with his longtime girlfriend and wondering if the grass is greener somewhere else.

A dark childhood secret threatens Sydney's secure world; Gina is swept into a maelstrom of domestic violence; and Rick comes to a dramatic crossroads in his relationship with his girlfriend.Worst of all, the burden of caring for a parent is tearing the siblings apart, shattering their faith in one another. Now, as Sydney, Gina, and Rick struggle to overcome daunting obstacles and rebuild their lives, they will discover something they've never let themselves believe: that their most stable—and most cherished—relationships have always been with each other.
