A birthday dinner explodes as siblings battle over Phyllis, Autumn Lodge, and the house. When Matt flushes her pills, the night spirals into a disappearance and a reckoning.
At a tense family gathering, Matt, Bob, and Jack argue over what to do with matriarch Phyllis, who is slipping in and out of reality and calling out for Larry. Bob and Jack insist she must leave for Autumn Lodge - they even lined up a corner suite - while Matt suspects over-sedation. After a call to a doctor about hydro-exoprene, a heavy sedative given four times a day, Matt snaps and flushes the meds, refusing to sign anything or let the facility team take her.
From there, chaos: a disastrous birthday toast, a violent outburst, and by morning Phyllis is missing from her bed. As neighbor Mac Sheppard circles the property and estate talk heats up, a frantic home birth unfolds downstairs with Joly coaching, Jack pushing her plan, and a newborn named Phyllis coming into the world. Bob drops a chilling parable of two sons that mirrors the fight over land, money, and power of attorney.
When the dust settles, Matt confronts Bob, secrets surface, and Phyllis offers a final, haunting declaration to Larry about what becomes of the house. This chamber drama digs into dementia care, inheritance, and the cost of loyalty when memory fails and the past won’t stay buried.
