The film follows Stan Lohman (Richard Gere), a well-known politician, who invites his brother Paul (Steve Coogan) and his wife Claire (Laura Linney) out to dinner at a hip restaurant. Though Paul reluctantly agrees to go, he\u2019s stunned by Stan\u2019s insistence that they air their dirty laundry, particularly a horrific crime their children have committed but has yet to surface. It co-stars Chlo\u00eb Sevigny (\u201cThe Last Days of Disco\u201d), Rebecca Hall (\u201cChristine\u201d), Charlie Plummer (\u201cKing Jack\u201d) and Adepero Oduye (\u201cPariah\u201d).
