Mickey and Carolyn emerge from their storm shelter to discover their home is destroyed. Their youngest child, Kylie, and daughter-in-law, Shannon, come over. Each character reacts to the disaster differently. Carolyn has spent her life’s energy on two things: her children and her home. Her children are disappointments, so the loss of her house defeats her. Mickey is a recovering alcoholic, former womanizer and a terrible father who is trying to make amends. He responds to the storm damage by trying to salvage what he can from the wreckage of his house, and his family. Kylie is 30 years old with low ambitions. The destruction of their childhood home shocks them to realize it’s time to grow up and start their own family. Shannon tries to find the good in the situation, which annoys the other characters. Carolyn gets frustrated and starts a physical altercation with her daughter-in-law which is broken up by a sheriff deputy. She spews her anger and frustration with her husband, children and the damage and leaves. The next day, Mickey meets with the insurance adjuster, who turns out to be an ex-lover, and gets a quick payout. When Carolyn comes, he has to re-woo his wife and come up with a new plan for their life together.
