The Conway family has recently experienced a family tragedy, and they are still in the aftermath of that tragedy, with different family members handling their pain in different ways. Mom Gloria (Geena Davis) is feeling bitter, and tries to offset the pain by making jokes. Dad Ray (Joel Tobeck) more or less closes down emotionally and son Larry (Harry Cook) tries his best to distance himself from his family. Son Billy (Harrison Gilbertson) has perhaps the most obvious reaction to everything, as he acts out, performing a number of pranks around the city. When the results of his pranks are more dramatic and tragic that he could have guessed, the family must find a way to pull back together to get through this trying time. Can Billy's misguided mistakes help the family to see the good in the little things again?
