Sommaire
When a self-centered husband's relationships with his wife and mistress grow cold, it takes a wife-swapping "key party" and a freak ice storm to clear the air and change their lives forever.
In the weekend after thanksgiving 1973 the Hoods are skidding out of control. Benjamin Hood reels from drink to drink, trying not to think about his trouble at the office. His wife, Elena, is reading self help books and losing patience with her husband's lies. Their son, Paul, home for the holidays, escapes to the city to pursue an alluring rich girl from his prep school. And young, budding nymphomaniac, Wendy Hood roams the neighborhood, innocently exploring liquor cabinets and lingerie drawers of her friends' parents, looking for something new. Then an ice storm hits, the worst in a century. Things get bad...
Dans le week-end après Thanksgiving 1973, les Hoods dérapent hors de contrôle. Benjamin Hood roule de verre à boire, essayant de ne pas penser à ses problèmes au bureau. Sa femme, Elena, lit des livres d'entraide et perd patience avec les mensonges de son mari. Leur fils, Paul, à la maison pour les vacances, s'échappe à la ville pour poursuivre une fille riche attrayante de son école préparatoire. Et jeune, nymphomane en herbe, Wendy Hood parcourt le quartier, explorant innocemment les armoires à liqueurs et les tiroirs de lingerie des parents de ses amis, à la recherche de quelque chose de nouveau. Puis une tempête de verglas frappe, le pire depuis un siècle. Les choses vont mal ...
