The Jennings family, a microcosm of suburban life where secrets simmer beneath the surface like a pot on the stove for too long, is introduced to us in Mother, Father, Sister, and Brother Frank.
In this story, the matriarch, Joy (Mindy Cohn), badly wants the family to stay together, so she plans a Sunday dinner that turns into a crucible for suppressed truth. While their father, Jerry (Enrico Colantoni), drowns his worries in wine, her adult children, Jolene (Melanie Leishman) and Jim (Iain Stewart) navigate their labyrinthine struggles.
A chaotic cycle of violence and dark humor is set off by Uncle Frank’s (Juan Chioran’s) arrival, shattering the fragile facade of their family. Frank, a harbinger of trouble, embodies the existential threat that lurks in family ties—the possibility of destruction weaved into the fabric of love.
