Synopsis

Jackie and Contessa are far from the typical American family.

One black, one Jewish, and both women, they have overcome their differences and stayed partners for twenty years.

But when their absent daughter Garance is accused of murder and cannibalism, their New York City apartment becomes a center of chaos.

The phone rings off the hook with bigoted threats, Contessa's long-lost brother pays a visit, and to top it all off, the alleged cannibal returns.

This examination of a dysfunctional and unconventional family bitingly explores the outermost limits of familial love.
