In the early 1960s, Major Hank Marshall and his wife Carly are a military couple whose marriage unravels from the pressures of his job and her mental instability. Hank is a nuclear engineer who favors underground nuclear testing, and at odds with his superiors over the wisdom of open-air detonations. Carly is a nubile free spirit spiralling into a dangerous depression, and slowly being suffocated by domestic torpor and encroaching age. The family's move from Hawaii to a nowhere base in Alabama alarms the couple's oldest daughter, Alex, and sends Carly into an affair with the base commander, Vince Johnson.
