Pregnant with Bobby Hartwig's child, Thai nurse Silliporn tracks him down to Alabama where, having survived a jump from a bridge in Bangkok, Bobby's back home taking care of stroke-victim Harold Suggs and falling in love with his gorgeous granddaughter Bee. The tiny Suggs' house turns pressure cooker beneath the stingy gaze of Harold's game-show addicted wife Nadine and a helpful retired nun who's moved in next door. As Silliporn finds unexpected ove, as Harold learns to walk again, and as Bee herself becomes ripe with child, a rattled Bobby Hartwig sorts his scattered marbles, unraveling the haunting mystery of his shell-shocked father, missing since the Suggs' barn burned all those years ago.
