Based on the best-selling novel by author Dorothy Allison and directed by Lisa Cholodenko (High Art, Laurel Canyon), Cavedweller tells the touching tale of a mother's remarkable will to carry on following the death of her second husband. After fleeing from her abusive first husband (Aidan Quinn) and leaving her two daughters behind to begin life anew in Los Angeles, Delia (Kyra Sedgwick) meets the man of her dreams (Kevin Bacon) and begins to settle into a comfortable new existence. When tragedy strikes and her husband dies an untimely death, Delia is forced to return to the Southern town from which she came and confront her painful and anguished past. When she learns that her first husband is terminally ill and her daughters are currently in the care of their grandmother, Delia wages an uphill battle to reunite her family and get to know the daughters she had abandoned years ago.
