When Frank Smith, a successful doctor, fostering resentment over being orphaned at birth, finally learns of his family ties, he becomes the center of some strange familial responsibilities. A dark comedy glittered- I mean littered- with unexpected turns, this unique story gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “don’t judge a book by its cover”.
SEEKING: Philadelphia based actors for Principals, Supporting and Extra Roles
