One night, after another game in which he continues to slump at the plate, Carlton gets a phone call from his grandfather Amon (Harry Dean Stanton), who tells him that Carlton's mother, Katherine (Mary Steenburgen) has fallen ill and is at the hospital. Katherine requires a surgery that the doctors recommend; however she refuses to sign the waiver until Kyle comes to visit her. After Carlton agrees to find his estranged father, together with his ex-girlfriend Lucy (Kate Mara), the two of them fly to Columbus, Ohio to break the news to Kyle, who is there for an autograph signing and doesn't have a cell phone.

Veuve d'un officier hongrois, Gida vit avec ses sept filles dans la maison de garnison d'une petite ville de province. Les filles sont toutes à marier et, selon l’usage hongrois, il faut qu’elles se marient par ordre d'âge. Si l'une des plus jeunes se mariait avant ses sœurs plus âgées, on regarderait ces dernières comme des vieilles filles et auraient le plus grand mal à trouver un mari.
