Fifty years at a lake home, one camera. Images and memories of love lost, love found, love betrayed. When a grandmother’s covered-up past collides with her granddaughter’s secret future and her daughter’s angry present, they wonder if the love of three generations is enough to overcome decades of deceit. It all begins and unwinds with a simple roll of film. Hollywood veteran and Emmy Award-winner Piper Laurie stars as Rose, the grandmother with a hidden past.
