Three Moons Over Milford

With a cosmic explosion threatening Earth's existence, the residents of the picturesque small town of Milford have taken their lives to the extreme: quitting jobs, indulging vices and basically living as if today were their last. The Montgomery family is no exception. Janet Montgomery's husband abandoned his family to climb the seven largest peaks in the world, her daughter Lydia has taken up witchcraft to help save the Earth and her 17 year old son Alex gets involved with the older next door neighbor.
