An adopted girl discovers her talent for butter carving and finds herself pitted against an ambitious local woman in their Iowa town's annual contest.

Táto rodinná dráma s motívmi z Kráľa Leara sa začína, keď sa tvrdohlavý a neústupný otec, ktorý už dávno ovdovel, rozhodne odovzdať farmu, na ktorej sa roky upracoval k smrti, svojim trom dcéram. Čoskoro však vyjdú na povrch trpké tajomstvá, ako aj nevraživosť, ktorú sestry pred sebou dlho a starostlivo skrývali. Kedysi najlepšie a najbližšie priateľky sa s vyhliadkou na získanie bohatstva stanú najzúrivejšími rivalkami. Je to čas, keď slovo rodina stráca svoj význam a keď sa aj slová morálka a ľudskosť stávajú prázdnymi pojmami.
