Krisha returns for Thanksgiving dinner after ten years away from her family, but past demons threaten to ruin the festivities.

After a long decade of estrangement, grizzled Aunt Krisha shows up at her sister's home on a bright Thanksgiving morning. Swearing she's got her act together now, Krisha is desperate to re-enter the family circle. However, she has deeply hurt her loved ones in the past. As a result, her family greets her with a volatile mix of sympathy and wariness. And from the very start, a corrosive undercurrent of silent discomfort permeates the multi-generational gathering. But Krisha is determined not to let anything stand in the way of reconciliation. Without hesitation, she takes on the crucial and risky task of cooking the turkey, seeing it as her big chance to build bridges. As heat caresses the turkey's crisp brown skin, wary glances and private conversations ratchet up the tension, revealing painful secrets. Is the family's lost lamb ready to make up for lost time?—Nick Riganas
