Bill is a pillar of his community: a business owner, veteran, and proud patriarch of an unruly but loving family. His daughter Patti has returned home after the collapse of her marriage, while his son David struggles to stay afloat. He has brought David into the family business, but harbors doubts about his discipline. Bill gravitates towards Tammy, his daughter-in-law and the only other person in his rambunctious household who values contemplation and repose.
