A journalist from New York travels to Louisiana to document her cousin's struggles in the bayous, confronting cultural differences and dealing with her daughter's addiction issues.

A journalist and her teenage daughter travel to the Louisiana bayou to research a story about family, only to discover a long-lost branch of their own family living in a remote, oil-contaminated area. The two families, led by a widowed matriarch, collide in a culture clash that ultimately leads to tragedy, but also to a deeper understanding of the complexities of family dynamics.
