David, a struggling comedy writer fresh off from breaking up with his boyfriend, moves from New York City to Sacramento to help his sick mother. Living with his conservative father and much-younger sisters for the first time in ten years, he feels like a stranger in his childhood home. As his mother’s health declines, David frantically tries to extract meaning from this horrible experience and convince everyone (including himself) that he's "doing okay.”

A grieving comedy writer attempts to navigate the awkward friction of a conservative household while his mother’s health slips away. This sharp look at family dysfunction finds humor in the uncomfortable space between shared history and sudden estrangement.
