Yuma, Arizona, glitzy trash heap of the American West, is home to trailer parks, fast-food franchises, and the Warren family. Offbeat, down-on-their-luck suburbanites, they are about to discover that blood ties can keep people together...or give them the power to hurt each other more deeply than strangers ever can.

Young Tom Warren has dropped out of Berkeley and is coming home to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. But his girfriend has unexpectedly betrayed him, his older brother has done something far worse, and his father is about to reveal the secret that will tear the whole family apart.
