August: Osage County tells the tale of the dysfunctional Westin clan,
who all come together after the death of patriarch Beverly Weston. His wife
Violet, who is fighting mouth cancer and a growing dependency on pain pills,
sees her entire clan return home for the services, including her sister Mattie
Fae Aiken and her husband Charles and their son "Little" Charles.
Also arriving are Violet's three daughters: Barbara and her husband Bill, Ivy,
and wild child Karen, who brings her fiancé Steve. As the clan bickers and
jokes, old truths come to the surface, jealousies flourish, and eventually each
of the characters confronts some past hurt or future fear.
