After years spent avoiding his problems, Renn Wheeland (Nick Jonas) is
forced to face his greatest fear: the recent death of his mother, Lily
(Elisabeth Shue). While traveling home for her funeral, Renn meets
Zoey (Alexandra Shipp), who provides the perfect excuse to avoid
facing his new reality. Once home, Renn's greeted by his
eager-to-connect father, Darren (Matt Walsh) and over-bearing sister,
Leigh (Brittany Snow). Renn and Leigh have a complicated relationship,
one which will make the next few days difficult, as memories of the
past begin flooding back. And saying goodbye to their mother has an
added wrinkle because Renn and Leigh are not alone, they're joined by
their stepfather, Rick (David Arquette), whose relationship with Renn
is anything but magical. And Rick's vision of a funeral is clearly not
aligned with Renn's: Renn wants a cremation; Rick bought a casket.
Renn wants a family member to deliver the eulogy; Rick's asked a
hoarder Priest. And as the grieving process gets harder and harder,
Renn's need for escape increases, resulting in a blossoming friendship
with Zoey. Eventually, Renn finds the courage to stand up at Lily's
funeral and share a memory about his mother, one that confronts the
loss he's been avoiding. In the end, he's created a new relationship
with Leigh, one forged out of grief. He's connected with Darren, found
closure with Rick, and built a new friendship with Zoey. After that,
there's really only one thing left for Renn to do: begin the process
of healing.
