Family Fireworks is about the minds and hearts of seven people from the McFaddens/Fallsworths family who live in Minneapolis, Minnesota. They are preparing a picnic to celebrate the Fourth of July. They plan to go to Minnehaha Park for the day and will stay to watch the fireworks there that night. But there are already blazes of light and passion, ignorance and bliss, and fear and anger in their hearts because the energy of this family comes from deep ground, from the knowledge that they all must now go their separate ways. They will leave a loved home in a city they know as safe and secure. Though excited by a new adventure out west, they understand that they will not be together as a family in the same way.
