Urban white-collar Sydney Hale is forced to take a leave of absence due to workplace changes, and temporarily steps back from her career to rest with the company of her husband Heath Shaw. She thought she could enjoy a pleasant, relaxing time, only to find that family life is far from calm. Heath's father suddenly comes to stay with the couple, completely shattering the young pair's peaceful daily life. One is an independent woman adapted to the fast pace of urban life, the other is a traditional elder rooted in rural life. The two vastly different life philosophies clash fiercely under the same roof. Frictions over ideas and values keep escalating, trivial daily matters are magnified out of proportion, and this conflict spanning urban-rural divides, generations and identities will turn the originally warm small household upside down.
