An Iowa farm family is threatened by foreclosure when the FHA decides they don't deserve their loans after all. The head of the family, Sam Shepard, descends into drunkenness, almost destroying everything they have left. However, his wife, Jessica Lange, decides to fight back. Real, passionate and gritty, but not without a few cliches as well, the final confrontation between Lange and the FHA fails to generate much sparks despite all the hoopla.
