One night in Seattle, a successful but world-weary musician overdoses while sitting alone on top of a parking garage. Three years later, her son Grady, 15, is forced to dredge up his
feelings when he is asked to speak at her memorial festival. Grady wants to spend more time with his mentally retarded half-brother Louie, but this would mean moving in with Vicki (Louie’s outspoken and religious stepmother).
