After The Hurricane traces the steps Charlie takes when confronted with a potentially life-altering decision: to sell or not to sell a bequeathed home. Her deceased aunt's residence is best described as a storm-ravaged boathouse, standing among Southampton mansions. The property, infused with the essence of Charlie's childhood-self, forces the young photographer to confront repressed aspirations. Living with a terribly pragmatic investment banker in NYC, Charlie must reconcile the path she is on with the one she desires.
