After her husband, Shep, loses his latest job, he inherits a house, along with a long-established bicycle shop. The move gives Jennie, Shep, and their children a chance for a fresh start. While Shep dives into his new venture at the bike shop, Jennie loves being a stay-at-home mom but yearns to find some fulfillment outside of her family-- particularly as they struggle financially. She embarks on a candy-making enterprise, but as the holiday season approaches long-simmering tensions between husband and wife rise to the surface.
