The story: Mason is a young boy living with his older sister and single mother.

His mother relocates them due to wanting to attend college to make a better life for them.

Where they land is closer to their maternal grandmother.

Their father is also back in their life after being in Alaska for a while.

Soon Mason's mother is marrying her college professor and Mason and his sister find themselves with a new stepfather and two step-siblings.

But before too long, that marriage breaks up and they are living on their own again.

Now Mason's mother is teaching at a local college.

After a small get-together at their house for Thanksgiving, Mason's mother is on marriage number two.

But just like the last, things don't work out and the small family is living on their own once more.
