In the heart of a hardscrabble trailer park, lives the desperate teenager, Rena Grubb, entangled within the chaotic web of her dysfunctional family. She is merely a trophy to the school's most sought-after boy who keeps their relationship hidden, using her only for his desires. Jay, her brother, grapples with his sexuality, while her elder half-sister, Barbie, revels in her caustic demeanor. Their mother, Madge, exhausts herself in a juggling act of low-wage jobs to keep the family afloat. Rena clings to the annual picnic, a cherished memory, where she hopes to reconnect with her incarcerated father, John Grubb, serving two life sentences. Despite the grim reality of his crimes, she treasures the cards he sends, building a romanticized image of him. When Madge, worn down by Rena's pleas, decides to take the family to the prison picnic, the day unfolds with harsh revelations. John's true, cruel nature comes to light, shattering Rena's dreams and exposing painful truths of her long-lost father.
