L.A. está seco como un desierto, Oscar, el patriarca de la familia Alvarado, está obsesionado con el clima y solo quiere un poco de lluvia. En realidad, alberga un secreto que lo distrae de todo lo demás. Su esposa, Keila, desesperada por tener una vida con un poco más de intimidad y un poco menos de Weather Channel, siente que no tiene más remedio que terminar su matrimonio. Sus tres hijas--Claudia, una chef televisiva de actitud insensible; Olivia, una arquitecta de éxito que sufre la culpa de la gentrificación; y Patricia, una maga de las redes sociales que tiene una extraña habilidad para conectarse con el público, pero no con sus amantes--quedan sorprendidas ante la noticia y empiezan a cuestionar todo lo que saben. Cada uno tendrá que mirar críticamente sus propias relaciones y tomar decisiones difíciles en el camino"--Publisher's website.
