The De la Torre siblings spent most of their lives not knowing (or pretending not to know) one another existed. After their wayward father, Santé dies, eldest sister Deirdre brings her siblings together to decide where to spread his remains. Her proposal triggers an altercation that leads the siblings to secretly take matters into their own hands, revealing the depths of each character's connection to their father.
