| Synopsis: | When home is another word for the very bowels of hell, corrupted traditionalism, misguided Christianity, and passive aggressive parenting all rear their heads in this unforgiving comedic portrayal of the modern American Family. Mom and Dad desperately want to keep intact the image of a happy, stable, loving family and they're willing to gloss over and even blatantly ignore horrific levels of dysfunction to do it. But as the family gathers for traditional weekly dinner it becomes overly apparent that the status quo is in imminent peril as the children Avery, Owen, and Debra decide to draw a line. This induces a volley of brutal honesty and the uncovering of countless skeletons that threatens the families very foundation. | |||||

Laugh and cringe as Jason jumps through countless demeaning and politically incorrect hoops as the power mad interviewer tries to corner him into a variety of humiliations.

His handler, a U.S. marshal drops Otto off in a small-town apartment and assures him that he’ll be safe and then becomes completely unavailable. Otto, apparently never stable in the most placid of circumstances, descends into a hysterical tizzy at the arrival of Cynthia who has rented the same apartment due to a lease mix up. The two suddenly find themselves faking a rather surreal marriage to protect his identity and her honor in the midst of their intrusive neighbors. Then tension and pace builds right up to the end when Otto must face a life or death situation with only his interior decorating skills to protect him. | |||||
