description: The Weber Family are happily living life, until a raging storm brews up a mistress by the name of Claudette that comes in and shatters their false reality. Claudette, feeling used and abused, only wants the man who has fathered her two girls to man up and take care of his responsibilities. However, due to a serious threat made by his wife-Lois, Robert is forced to deny the daughters he's made with Claudette. Unable to deal with the drama and ruin caused after Claudette's tell all visit, Kale-the daughter of the adulterous father, runs away from home at the age of fourteen, and leaves her twin sister behind. Once she's out on her own in the real world, Kale realizes that life isn't the beautiful portrait she envisioned for so long. Her journey teaches her that in this game of life, you can't choose the hand that you are dealt, but in order to survive you must play your cards right.
