In Las Vegas, 1994, the Prices are introduced by Viola, the family's outspoken matriarch. Her husband, Cecil, has left for good, and their four adult children seem determined to send her to her grave. Paris, divorced and mother to a teenager, always rescues others but doesn't know how to save herself. Lewis, the scapegoat, always ends up in jail, confirming what his family thinks of him. Charlotte, in Chicago, feels she's always been the least favored and has nothing in common with her family, whom she'd rather divorce. Janelle, the youngest, faces a crisis with her teenage daughter. And Viola doesn't even want to talk about Cecil, her 'bad habit' of 38 years. But Cecil has his own plans to take control of his life, regardless of what his wife and children think.
