Personal problems send free spirit Cristina scurrying for the comforts of her family home (left to her AA older brother Mauricio by their deceased parents). The siblings -now dysfunctional adults- struggle to find their footing be it because of Mauricio's relationship with a new girlfriend (20 years his junior) or Cristina's hopeless struggle to heal the past.
