An uncomfortably touching comedy.
About
Jake is a man who has meticulously curated every facet of his existence. As a successful realtor operating in the polished landscape of the Southern California suburbs, he prides himself on his composure, his flawless home, and the carefully managed distance he keeps from his past. His disciplined world is thrown into total disarray, however, when his younger brother, Pete, reemerges after a long period of silence. Pete is everything Jake is not: impulsive, unpredictable, and entirely comfortable with the messiness of life. As Pete settles into Jake’s pristine living room, the friction between their opposing lifestyles begins to ignite. What starts as an awkward reunion quickly evolves into a high-stakes test of patience and loyalty. As Pete’s chaotic energy seeps into Jake’s professional and personal spheres, the older brother is forced to confront the cracks in his own carefully constructed facade. The two men must navigate a rapidly escalating series of challenges that threaten to dismantle the stability Jake has worked so hard to maintain. Set against the backdrop of an unforgiving real estate market and the pressures of maintaining appearances, the story explores the undeniable, often difficult bond of brotherhood and the ways in which family can simultaneously derail our lives and reveal the truths we have spent years trying to suppress.
