family

In September of 2018, one family in rural Starkfield, Massachusetts, finds the cultural, social, and political issues of the day becoming intensely personal, throwing their marriage, family life, their past, their future, and their values into doubt. Ethan Frome's wife, Zo, turns their home into a headquarters for the "Resistance" of women that has risen up against a Supreme Court nominee, while at the same time his old roommate and business partner is facing "metoo" allegations. His daughter, Alex, becomes more unruly and headstrong, and then Maddy Silver, the breezy, blue-dyed hair millennial, throws a further wrench into everything.

Lizzie's work in the library of a university where she was a once-promising grad student is overshadowed by her side hustle answering letters for "Hell and High Water," a podcast hosted by her old mentor, characterized by doom and gloom. Lizzie is supposed to be answering these letters as an unofficial shrink, but as her own life as a wife and mother begins to suffer from her obsession with disaster psychology, writing notes of hope to the podcast correspondence becomes harder and less fulfilling.
