When a catastrophic hurricane rips through Florida, it leaves in its wake a wasteland of matchstick trees, overturned cars, and shattered lives. Afraid to leave his home unprotected, Perry, a dedicated family man, weathers the storm only to find himself stranded with his wife and child in the threatening aftermath. As Perry struggles to salvage what little remains, his insecurities slowly tear at the fabric of his marriage to Patrice, who wishes for nothing more than to celebrate their survival. But as tempers flair, the couple soon discovers that the storm was only a prelude to an even darker fury ahead.
