I'm a little confused

Lila (Talia Balsam) seems to have a happy family life in the Catskill mountains. Her life is turned upside down when her partner Edgar (Scott Cohen) reveals a devastating situation.I like these actors. They are doing good work with this material. My main issue is that I'm a little confused sometimes. I need an org chart on some of these characters. I totally didn't know Emme until the very end. Maybe I missed something. Maybe it's intentional. I'm never on solid ground with these characters. I actually would have liked this to be all about her fling, but it seems to have come and gone.

Startling beginning...

I initially thought this was about poor white trash people living a somewhat sub-standard existence in the Catskills. -But as I moved into the storyline? It had some sharp turns from the friend/neighbor with illness, to the lesbian daughter and of course, the plot of a man whose seems to be a repeated wife cheater. It seemed most plausible since the story initiated with us meeting the "Mrs" who looked like a bonafide hag and clearly, had a low opinion of herself or she wouldn't allow herself to look incredibly slovenly, "artist" or not (one wonders if she even brushed her teeth!) I thought the acting of our mainline couple was okay but nothing stellar. The story was an old one but a totally clumsy one in that the husband's cheating was less than a surprise and he "went for" one very "plain-jane-dame", which leads us to realize it was more than just sex that he was interested in, yet uninterested in "fixing" his marriage. The plot was a little slow to unfold for me and I wanted to speed it up. The wife taking up with the young "boyfriend"? Well really now; vengeful and tacky. -So while the story was convincing, its appalling to see people not only live, dress and act so sloppily, but with an attitude of cavalierness in a very real sense under the circumstances, that this is an "everyday" happenstance.
