a hail storm hits houston the day the collins family is celebrating august's sixteenth birthday. the power goes out so august's mother (dar) can't finish the cake she is baking. they decide to celebrate with hostess ding dongs. august's father (tom) returns after the storm from the grocery story without the candles he was sent to get, so august sticks kitchen matches in the ding dongs. tom suggests that the family go to waco to visit a friend of his at a "religious community" causing a riff between him and dar. august lights the matches, things go wrong, a small fire breaks out, august's midly autistic sister (june) freaks out.
