Academy Award winner and four-time Academy Award nominee Diane Keaton stars in this movie about Natalie, a mother who, following the accidental death of her only child Sara, (Alexa Davalos), decides to move into the summer house Sara shared with friends to try to learn more about their relationships with her daughter and to find her daughter's diary.
But what was initially to be a drop-in visit turns into a longer stay as Natalie gets to know each of Sara's friends, especially Adam (Tom Everett Scott), a gay playwright who thought of Sara as his muse and who was in the car with her the day she died. Long-held secrets are slowly revealed as Natalie spends time with everyone in the household, making them all feel vulnerable and exposed. Then, as both Natalie and Sara's friends see the special place that Sara held in their lives, they begin to understand more about their late friend and the effect she had on all who knew her.
