Synopsis

Academy Award winner Nicolas Cage stars as popular Chicago TV weatherman David Spritz, who has a shot at the big time when "Hello America," a national morning show, calls him for an audition. At the top of the world professionally, David is approaching disaster on a personal level as rapidly as the weather changes.

His painful divorce, his dad's illness, and trouble with his kids have David poised on the knife's edge between stability and calamity. Trying to gain control of his situation, he embarks on a soul-searching mission to reunite his dysfunctional family. However the harder he tries to control events, David slowly comes to realize that life, much like the weather, is completely unpredictable.
