Dragons

by Melanie Godsey

Three adopted sisters bring their partners along for an annual weekend of family traditions at their parent’s vacation home. As the party grows more drunken, the youngest and most pregnant sister is left with the cooking and her own unsettling memories from long ago. This funny and unexpected family drama asks whether certainty is ever attainable and how to heal in the meantime.
