The struggle to survive in a changing economy led Joey into debt. He made a fateful decision to return home after a decade on his own. Immediately after returning home, old wounds would be reopened.

When Joeys big brother died suddenly and unexpectedly, his remaining siblings would put him through the nightmare that he had feared his whole life.
