The four Endicott siblings - Gemma, Connor, Roddy, and Jude - were once inseparable. But decades later, the unthinkable has happened: they haven't spoken in years . until an out-of-the-blue text arrives from Jude, now a famous actress, summoning them to a small town in North Dakota.

They're each at a crossroads: Gemma, who put her own ambitions aside to raise the others, now isn't sure if she wants to be a mother herself. Connor, a celebrated novelist, is floundering after his recent divorce and suffering from an epic case of writer's block. And Roddy, at the tail end of a professional soccer career, is dangerously close to losing his future husband for the chance at one last season.

Jude is the only one who seems to have it all together-but appearances can be deceiving. As the weekend unfolds, they'll discover that she's been keeping three secrets . each of which could change everything.
