Plot

Rebellious teenager Rachel (Lindsay Lohan) screams, swears, drinks and is, in a word, uncontrollable. With her latest car crash, Rachel has broken the final rule in mom Lilly's (Felicity Huffman) San Francisco home. With nowhere else to take the impulsive and rambunctious girl, Lilly hauls her daughter to the one place she swore she'd never return--her own mother's Idaho farm. Matriarch Georgia (Jane Fonda) is not your typical sweet and doting grandmother. She lives her life by a number of unbreakable rules, demanding anyone who shares her home do the same--God comes first and hard work comes a very close second. Now saddled with raising the young woman, it will require each patient breath she takes to understand Rachel's fury. But as Rachel succumbs to her summer of misery and shakes up the tiny Mormon town, Georgia notices something is changing within her granddaughter. Given structure and responsibilities, Rachel is letting her guard down and learning compassion, especially for her mother. Her journey will lead all three women to revelations of buried family secrets and an understanding that--regardless what happens--the ties that bind can never be broken.

Lilly arranges for Rachel a job as assistent of veterinarian Simon, who illegally also treats people. Simon does not show interest in women, so Rachel thinks he is gay.

Rachel explains that her step-father Arnold (Cary Elwes) sexually molested her from the time she was twelve until she turned fourteen, but later admits that this was a lie. However, several times she reverses her story. Rachel tells Arnold that she has a video tape of the two having sex when she was fourteen. Arnold seems worried, which suggests to the viewer that he is guilty. Rachel demands that Arnold gives her 10 million dollars if he does not keep Lily happy. When Arnold generously gives his new red Ferrari to Rachel, Lily suspects that he is guilty. He admits this, but with the "excuse" that Rachel "seduced" him, and drives off, leaving Lily to walk home.

In the end, Georgia, along with Simon, Rachel and Harlan catch up with Lily in Harlan's pick-up truck. Lily and Rachel are reunited at the side of the road. While the two are caught up in a tearful apologetic reunion, Harlan announces that he's going to marry Rachel.
