Synopsis
The story of a family living in New York suburbs struggling to stay together in the absence of the father, Tom, who disappeared fifteen years earlier without a trace. The lives of Nora, Tom's wife, and their three very unique headstrong daughters are suddenly interrupted with Tom's reappearance, especially since he has come back with some rather peculiar plans.
