Stage manager Rachel Gurner still lives in her childhood apartment along with her off-kilter actress sister, Jackie; eccentric playwright father Mel; and deadpan preteen niece Dodge above the tiny theatre they own and operate. Level-headed and turtleneck-wearing Rachel is the only thing standing between her family and utter chaos. Then, in the wake of a sudden family tragedy, Rachel and Jackie learn their presumed-deceased mother is actually alive and thriving as a soap-opera star. Now the sisters' already-precarious balance turns upside down, and Rachel must figure out how to liberate herself from this surreal imbroglio.
