As Jody struggles to come to terms with her past and confront the people who have been lying to her, she discovers the destructive power of hate and the toll it takes on those who hold onto it. Along the way, she must also confront her own demons and find a way to forgive those who have wronged her if she hopes to move forward with her life.
Through powerful performances and richly drawn characters, The Scent of Rain & Lightning paints a vivid portrait of a family torn apart by tragedy and struggling to reunite in the face of painful secrets and bitter betrayals.
