About the show:

Every estranged member of the Lafayette clan has descended upon the crumbling Arkansas homestead to settle the accounts of the newly dead patriarch. As his three adult children sort through a lifetime of hoarded mementos and junk, they collide over clutter, debt, and a contentious family history. But after a disturbing discovery surface among their father’s possessions, the reunion takes a turn for the explosive, unleashing a series of crackling surprises and confrontations.
