“Find your family.”

Sam Harper (Chris Pine) flies home to Los Angeles for the funeral of his estranged father, a record producer, and learns the will leaves $150,000 in cash to a sister he never knew he had. Frankie Davis (Elizabeth Banks) is thirty, an alcoholic, raising a troubled twelve-year-old son on her own. Alex Kurtzman's story keeps Sam standing at her door with the money and no way to say who he is, while his mother Lillian (Michelle Pfeiffer) waits at the family house.
