Plot

Raymond drives in a late, rainy night to the remote cabin to inform his half-brother, Ray, that their father, Ben Harris, has passed away and wished that all his sons attend his funeral. Ray is at first reluctant to go, but due to Raymond losing his license because of a DUI and some persuading, Ray finally agrees to attend. The brothers haven't seen each other in nearly five years because of the abuse their father inflicted on them during childhood, leaving them to with different trauma plaguing their adult life, with Raymond having unsuccessful relationships with the women in his life, while Ray was a former heroin addict, but has been sober for several years.
