Description: Sunny wants, more than anything, to be "normal." She's got the housewife thing down, but her husband Maxon, a genius engineer, is on a NASA mission to the moon. Once they were two outcasts who found love in each other. Now they're parents to an autistic son. And Sunny is pregnant again. And her mother is dying. Their marriage is on the brink of imploding, and Sunny wishes Maxon would turn the rocket around and come straight-the-hell home.
