Stories of broken lives flow and link to build a narrative in which characters wrestle with their unique post-flood circumstances. A woman is left by her husband because she gave birth to a flipper boy. A man believes he was “digitalized” by aliens. Edwin the mortician develops a fascination for videotaping. A porn actress has car trouble on the outskirts of town and ends up starring in one of Edwin’s movies. Leah, the town’s only dentist, turns from Edwin to Gus and reawakens the bitterness of an old love triangle.
