The staging features Jenny Bacon (In the Wake), Gary Cole ("Office Space," "The West Wing"), Betty Gilpin (We Live Here), Julianne Nicholson ("Boardwalk Empire," This) and Lois Smith (The Illusion, The Trip to Bountiful, Broadway's Buried Child).

In the play, according to Signature notes, "Sally [played by Nicholson] lives with her mysterious family in a cavernous home overlooking Los Angeles. When a visitor arrives, Sally's dark secrets — and the secrets of those around her — threaten to come into the light."
