A robbery leads to revelations for three sisters: fragile Stazi, a forensic pathologist who is chronically single; Ginger, whose "adventurous" past comes back to haunt her; and Theresa, a cigarette-smoking, foul-mouthed nun, who has always been the stalwart eldest sibling. Add in Ginger's husband, Shawn, whose bruised ego and desperate attempts to make it as a chef further complicate matters. Sibling rivalry, pornography, a dead mother who's still very much a potent presence, a fistful of condoms, secret ingredients, and family secrets threaten to tear the sisters apart.

Norman Miller is an unemployed fiction writer who fills his literary work with passages so sexually explicit that no one will publish them. He puts so much emotional energy into the writing that he fails to satisfy his wife, Mixie. Long-suffering, sexually desperate, and concerned for her sanity, Mixie begins an affair with Ted, who may have deeper feelings for her than she wants. An argument leads to murder, and murder leads to disposal problems…just as an unexpected guest shows up with earth-shaking news in this new dark comedy.​
Dark comedy. 2M, 1F.
Three-year-old Billy leads a charmed life; he stays home all day, gets his diapers changed, sleeps in a crib. His Mommy cooks his dinner every night, tells him stories, and knits his security blankets. And he gets to look out the window and color in his books all he wants. Except … Billy is actually thirty years old; he's never been out of the apartment. His “Mommy” is actually his older brother, who fills his head with terrifying nursery rhymes about everything outside. And the babysitter is a grad student. Her thesis topic is Billy. But she hasn’t mentioned that fact yet.
