Starring
Laura Dern, Diane Ladd, Luke Wilson
Laura Dern stars as Amy Jellicoe, a 40-year-old woman who returns home to California after a month's stay at a holistic treatment facility, a result of having a mental breakdown at work triggered by her self-destructive ways.
Amy returns to her old life with a new cultivated approach and perspective, which includes daily meditation and exhorting the power of self-help and inner healing. Though Amy wants to be an 'agent of change' in the world, the people who know her best are sceptical of her latest intentions.
She moves in temporarily with her somewhat-estranged mother, Helen (Dern's real-life mum Diane Ladd) and reconnects with her ex-husband Levi (Luke Wilson), who is struggling with his own demons and addictions. While trying to heal Levi and mend her relationship with Helen, Amy also re-enters work at Abaddonn Industries.
