Synopsis
Hurricanes can rip through a city and destroy it within a matter of moments; throwing everything and everyone into turmoil. Families on the other hand may not seem as threatening and they may take a little bit longer but they too can wreak havoc which unfortunately can’t always be rebuilt. It is shortly after Hurricane Ivan’s attack on Grenada and Eartha is at the end of her tether; not with the effects of the hurricane but with her family. Her daughter and her husband, and their little girl have moved into Eartha and her husband Edward’s house. The arrival of Eartha’s sister Catalysta soon changes things as she blows through the house forcing the family to confront issues that are well overdue.
