Rival mothers become caretakers after tragedy shatters their household.
Eleanor torments her daughter-in-law Lucy and eggs on her son George to strike her. Margaret responds by shattering the treasured Bennett crock and moving into the home to shield Lucy, igniting daily battles between the two older women. The fighting ends abruptly when George dies in a drunken tractor accident, a loss that fractures Eleanor's mind. Rather than walk away, Margaret chooses to stay and tend to the woman who once made her life miserable, and the pair slowly stitch a new family from the wreckage.
