Shy People (1987) follows Diana Sullivan (Jill Clayburgh), a renowned Manhattan writer and photojournalist, who is unaware of her daughter Grace's (Martha Plimpton) severe cocaine addiction. Diana receives an assignment from Cosmopolitan magazine to explore a long-lost branch of her family, which takes them to the remote bayous of Louisiana. There, they meet Diana's distant cousin, Ruth (Barbara Hershey), who was married at a young age to an abusive husband whose current location is unknown. Ruth governs her three adult sons, who are not entirely mentally sound, with a mix of protective and fierce behavior. The arrival of Diana and Grace disrupts the family's dynamics, especially when Grace, feeling bored and driven by her addiction, manipulates her naive cousins, leading to tragic outcomes.
