Klappentext

Unprofessional. Emmitt Key molds his life to fit the word. He's directionless. Cynical. Tactless. There is no comfort in the word. Only constriction. Now, in his late twenties, Emmitt yearns for fulfillment. He wants to publish his first book but achieving his aim forces him to work with a man he despises and idolizes in equal measure: his older brother, Andrew. Andrew "Drew" Key embodies professionalism.

Together, the brothers agree to help heiress and former child actress Sybil Yates. For Drew, Sybil offers an opportunity to prove himself and boost his reputation as a self-help guru to the stars. For Emmitt, Sybil is nothing more than a subject for a collaborative book with Drew. She's an opportunity for Emmitt to finally achieve something.

Sybil is a hoarder. And Sybil doesn't live alone. Her stern mother, Shannon, and timid sister, Renata, live with her, and they have no desire to take part in another fruitless attempt to clean the hoarded house.

While the brothers work to help Sybil organize, they uncover the hidden suffering that lies underneath the piles of treasures the women have accumulated. Emmitt struggles against Drew and his own conscience as their conflicting methods and ethics converge. With tensions escalating, each brother must force himself to determine the true meaning of fulfillment.
