The Haines family has never been perfect, and the neighbors in their tightly knit community know this. It's common knowledge that Mr. Haines is a workaholic, and that Mrs. Haines can be over dramatic. They know that their oldest daughter, Hannah, does whatever she wants, and that their youngest daughter, Jackie, lacks any sort of manners what so ever. And most known of all, is the fact that their middle child, Carly, hallucinates, and is always in her own little world... But is this all there is to the Haines family? Or is there something else? Are they more screwed up than what the neighbors think? Or are they actually just one happy family? One things for certain. There is always more to the story.
