Synopsis: On
his way over to the usual, Sunday night family dinner, NICK--a raging
alcoholic from a well-to-do family—hits and kills a young girl while
driving drunk. Upon arriving at his pill-popping sister’s, he must face
his family and somehow disclose his shameful secret. Unfortunately,
everyone at dinner has their own agenda. From Nick’s, boozing, wild-man
father SNOOPY yelling at the TV, his brother-in-law LENNY constantly
telling others how pathetic he has become, niece BECCA and her imaginary
dog, to nephew JOEY and his lofty pimping dreams, it is tough to get a
word in. It is the story of a family that does not listen.
