Greeted by his UNCLE STULLY(Robert Longstreet) a seasoned claim adjuster, and an ambitious group of adjusters, he is quickly immersed into the routine: move fast, don’t get emotionally involved, and make a lot of money. But Turner, not prepared to deal with people who have lost everything, is totally overwhelmed. Turner’s lack of experience and uncertainty only makes things worse.

In exchange for Turner helping look for the lost dog, Nixon lends a hand with Turner’s insurance claim’s. Turner and Nixon begin to navigate their way through the storm-ravaged city, a journey that will change Turner’s life.

But now, to wake up they must fall in love.
