Within this reunion, they break through the secrets and lies that have distanced their family from each other their whole lives, only to discover that the biggest hidden monster is lodged within Savannah, and it’s bringing on a storm that will destroy everything that they’ve known, which will make them face themselves, each other and their personal histories in a whole new way.
