Plot

In the heartwarming yet turbulent tale of "The Upside of Anger," Terry Wolfmeyer transforms from the "sweetest woman" to an embittered matriarch. Her world unravels when her husband, Gray, vanishes, seemingly escaping to Sweden with his secretary. Her rage blinds her to rationality, refusing even the slightest attempt to hear his side of the story. Terry's life, once defined by suburban tranquility, now revolves around raising her four fiercely independent daughters single-handedly. As Terry grapples with her new reality, she finds solace and distraction in an unlikely ally, Denny. This washed-up baseball legend and jazz-loving radio host becomes her confidante, her drinking partner, and ultimately, her lover. Their relationship, while providing a semblance of support, is marred by their shared abrasiveness and Terry's unresolved anger. Meanwhile, Terry's daughters find themselves walking a tightrope, juggling their mother's romantic entanglements with their own personal dilemmas. The house throbs with the tension of unanswered questions and unspoken emotions, until a twist of fate unravels the truth about Gray's disappearance. This bittersweet journey through anger, love, and self-discovery paints a vivid picture of the often overlooked upside of anger.
