 Tagline: Every family has its secrets.
A modernization of Anton Checkhov's "Three Sisters." The story is set in Manhattan college, where three sisters and a brother long for the simpler life their family left behind in Charleston. They reveal their family secrets and self-deceptions with wit and absolute honesty.
The two eldest Prior sisters, the beautiful sardonically witty Marcia (Maria Bello) and her older, more ambitious, English and American Studies professor sibling, Olga (Mary Stuart Masterson), rush across the campus of Manhattan College.
They arrive at the Faculty Lounge, where their younger sister Irene (Erika Christensen), an English major, is soon to arrive for her surprise party. There they meet family friends, Dr. Chebrin (Rip Torn), David Turzin (Chris O'Donnell) and Gary Sokol (Eric McCormack).
When their father’s former teaching assistant from Charleston, Vincent Antonelli (Tony Goldwyn), unexpectedly arrives at the party, the conversation takes a turn down memory lane. Soon, another Prior sibling, Andrew (Alessandro Nivola) arrives with his fiancée, Nancy (Elizabeth Banks). Nancy, wearing a dress that’s a little flashy, seems out of place in this academic crowd. Moreover, there is obviously no love lost between Nancy and Marcia, as Marcia wastes no time in making barbed, sarcastic remarks that reveal her contempt for Nancy.
