Plot: Sammy (Laura Linney) and Terry Prescott (Mark Ruffalo) are sister and brother who were raised in Scottsville, a small, quiet town in upstate New York. Orphaned as children, Sammy and Terry have remained close, even as they have led very different and separate lives. Sammy is a churchgoing single mother working in the local Scottsville bank and devoted to her 8-year-old son Rudy (Rory Culkin). Terry is a drifter moving from state to state working odd jobs, getting into trouble and occasionally landing in jail.One tangible thing keeps them together: the family home left to them by their parents. When Terry comes to visit Sammy with the intention of borrowing money, this home soon becomes the meeting place for their hearts and minds as they struggle to reconcile their conflicting lives with the love that, for better or worse, irrevocably binds them together.

Similarly, notoriously irresponsible Terry is learning to straighten up because of the developing relationship with Sammy's son.
