The Smiths were a family like any other on the surface. John, the patriarch, was a successful businessman in his late 50s, married to Emily, a devoted stay-at-home mom. They had three children: Rachel, the eldest, who was 25 and a high-powered lawyer; James, 22, a free-spirited artist; and Lily, 18, a bright and ambitious high school senior.
Meanwhile, Lily started to act out, seeking attention and validation from her parents and siblings. Her grades began to slip, and she started to hang out with a new crowd, much to her parents' dismay.
The family's dynamics became increasingly strained. Rachel and James started to take sides, with Rachel supporting her mother and James feeling caught in the middle. Lily, feeling lost and alone, began to drift further away from her family.
