Summary Made with help from others
It's November 1973 in New Canaan, Connecticut. Watergate has caught up
with Richard Nixon. The Beatles are recording solo albums. Wife-swapping
has come to the suburbs. And, the Hood family is skidding out of control.
Ben Hood (Kevin Kline) is trying to bed his mistress, next-door neighbor
Janey Carver (Sigourney Weaver), who seems oddly uninterested. Ben's wife,
Elena (Joan Allen), is reading Jonathan Livingston Seagull and Human Sexual
Response and losing patience with her husband's clumsy lies. Young Wendy Hood
(Christina Ricci) is finding new games to play with the boys next door, Mikey
Carver (Elijah Wood) and his little brother Sandy (Adam Hann-Byrd).
The day after Thanksgiving, the Hoods' son Paul (Tobey Maguire) escapes to the
city to pursue an alluring rich girl from his prep school, and Ben and Elena
attend a cocktail party which turns out to be a "key party": a wife-swapping
lottery at the end of the evening for couples who dare or just don't care anymore.
As night falls and the members of the family embark on their separate sexual
odysseys, the worst ice storm in thirty years hits the coast. The events of
that night -- by turns ribald, comic and tragic -- will bring the Hood family
face-to-face with one another for the first time when they meet again, in the
cold early light of the morning after the ice storm has passed.
