CHARLOTTE
I still have all my teeth.
MELISSA
You do. And they’re very nice.
CHARLOTTE
That’s the problem. I’m attractive and I have all my teeth. People don’t expect me to be crazy.
When Melissa receives a mysterious invitation to brunch from her mother after a two-year estrangement, she returns to a home where nothing is as it seems. Fathers lie, friends leave and she herself is failing in the artist’s world she covets- as her mother practices the art of disappearing before her very eyes. The devastating truth she discovers in her parents’ house threatens to tear all of them apart for good. Will Melissa stay and fight for her family? Or will she disappear too?
