Gallaghery

It's a typical morning on the South Side. The Gallagher kitchen smells of burnt toast and Frank's cheap beer, who's already passed out on the floor. Fiona frantically counts pennies from the communal jar, knowing she needs to find $400 before evening, or the power and water will be shut off. Lip is trying to fix a broken water heater, cursing loudly, and Ian is checking the refrigerator for expired food.
