At the heart of this story is communications among family members: communication and lack of communication; parents with children, among children.
An extended family in crisis following the death of their matriarch must cope with this new environment. The year is 1987. The terms of an unusual will left by their parents bring four grown children, spouses, and other family members, back to the Missouri Ozarks farm where they grew up - the Homeplace. Varied backgrounds and viewpoints ignite controversy and expose long kept secrets as each family member searches for his or her share of the family legacy. While the older family members stake their claims to land and fortunes, the younger ones search for love and acceptance.
"Seriously communicate with family members regularly."
"May each of us have a Homeplace to hold onto, if only in our minds."
