Upon hearing from family lawyer Miles that her recently deceased husband has left her with a $200,000 debt, Ceil Engel considers jumping off a roof to her death. After changing her mind, she falls off the roof anyway, injuring herself. She is visited at the hospital by her children: recovering addict Sandy, ne'er-do-well son Jimmy, and frustrated associate attorney Jenna.
