Based on the novel by Kaui Hart Hemmings, The Descendants chronicles a detached father's attempt to reconnect with his two daughters and their quest for truth. Matt King (Clooney) is an indifferent husband and father of two girls, living in Hawaii, who is forced to re-examine his past and embrace his future when his wife suffers a boating accident. The event forces him to re-connect with his daughters while he wrestles with a decision to sell the family's land handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries. (Gary Reber)
