Synopsis: | Every summer, the four Harmon sisters pack up a car, wave goodbye to families in Kosciusko, Mississippi, and head for a week at the beach in Gulf Shores, Alabama. This year's vacation is particularly needed; second-eldest sister Brenda lost her husband Lewis last fall, and all agree she could benefit from a week of rest. Rain greets them on the first day, and what seems at first an inconvenience proves to be more threatening: Gulf Shores lies directly in the path of a hurricane. Their attempts at evacuating are thwarted by Brenda, who becomes convinced that the storm, which shares a name with her late husband, is a sign telling her to stay. Things become a bit more complicated with the arrival of an unexpected guest, 21-year old model Randy Bradford, who makes all of the Harmon sisters wonder whether their troubles remained at home after all. . . | |||||

Synopsis: | When Shep, an accountant in Atlanta, decided to become a sperm donor, he could never have imagined the impact it would have on everyone in his life. After being given information that makes him consider his mortality, he reconnects with his ex-boyfriend Chris, who's busy fighting dual battles with cancer, and his mother, Dorothy Jean. The technician from Shep's sperm bank, who may or may not be a psychiatrist, hires Shep's best friend Narissa as a personal trainer, but their training sessions quickly give way to therapy. Meanwhile, Chris's current boyfriend, Owen, who was once engaged to Narissa, faces surprising news from his past. Add into the mix a lesbian pot dealer on a mission from God, a larger-than-life drag queen named Ruby Red, and a round of cocktails for everyone involved, and you've got the story of seven people chasing unlikely dreams, realizing along the way that sometimes, your real family is made up of the people you choose. | |||||
