Blackout

Description:

It was a normal summer night in the city. Hot, noisy, busy. And then the lights went out, and everything changed. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, because not everyone likes normal. When a busy family's activities come to a halt because of a blackout, they find they enjoy spending time together and not being too busy for once. - Publisher.
