Sestry McCabeovy, které vychoval jejich strýc Django, se domnívají, že je po překročení třicítky čeká šťastné a vyrovnané období. Nejmladší Cat se po čtyřech letech v zahraničí vrací domů, aby zahájila novou etapu života. Bezstarostnou - nebo si to alespoň myslí. Fen, prostřední z nich, je rozhodnutá být svému dítěti lepší matkou, než byla její matka jí - ale může to být na úkor jejího milostného života? A není nejstarší Pip zaneprázdněná péčí o svého nevlastního syna, manžela, sestry a strýce natolik, že opomíjí vlastní potřeby? Na oslavě Djangových pětasedmdesátých narozenin vyplují na povrch tajemství, která jednou provždy změní pohled sester na jejich rodinu, a z představ o lásce a domově, jež spolu dřív neoddělitelně souvisely, zůstanou trosky.
