Ashley Judd stars in this drama about a headstrong young woman's search for meaning and self-worth in her life. Lucy Fowler (Judd) is a contractor for a construction firm run by Owen Allen (Stacy Keach). In between caring for her reclusive alcoholic father (Scott Wilson) and spending time with her family - grandmothers Doll (Candyce Hinkle) and Nana (Diane Ladd) and uncle Tim (Tim Blake Nelson) - Lucy spends her weekends getting drunk in the local bar and sleeping with anonymous men. When she meets Cal Percell (Jeffrey Donovan), the new guy in town, it seems that Lucy might finally have found fulfilment, but it soon becomes apparent that she still has demons to confront.
