Unit: The cement casing of a swimming pool.
Four sisters reunite at the site of their old family home only to find the house gone. The only visible evidence left of their home is the sunken cement casing of the swimming pool. Determined to re-light the family hearth; they fan the flames of the past amid alien abductions, transsexualism, Evangelism, and Rock’ N’ Roll. The house is resurrected—that place of fire.
