Three women discover their sisters and meet to discuss the wayward father they each have and to get an inheritance. For Tess, Charlotte and Natalia, their lives are about to change. Each learn that their famous photographer father Jackson Swann has died. He told nobody he was sick and now these three women (who have never met and barely knew about each other) have been summoned to the Oregon vineyard that their dad owned to bury him and hear his will. They will also meet their 96 year-old Grandmother, who none have ever met. They all arrive and get to know each other and talk about Jackson and also learn that their Grandmother was a bad ass during WWII. She worked for the resistance and that’s where she met their Grandfather. As the days go along and they here the will, each receives a video from their dad and it changes things for them. They grow closer, each finding love and what the true meaning of family is.

This is a emotional story of family and putting the hurt of what has happened to each of them behind them as they learn about their family and each other. The two fold story of today and the past brings it all together and you invest in the lives of these 3 women.
