A suburban family navigates personal struggles, fractured relationships, and hidden insecurities. Mark, obsessed with fantasy football, grows distant from his family, while his wife Linda, feeling unappreciated, immerses herself in gardening to find purpose. Their teenage daughter Emily wrestles with her own self-worth, caught in a relationship with a 19-year-old college dropout who refuses to plan for the future. Meanwhile, 13-year-old Josh, believing the house is haunted, uses his creative outlet of filming to mask his fear of growing up. As the family faces these challenges and confronts their insecurities, they slowly rediscover the importance of connection, family, and the roots that bind them together. With emotional confrontations and heartfelt reconciliations, "Rootbound" is a touching story of love, growth, and finding your place within your family.
