In a town where nothing ever happens... everything is about to happen to Sully.

DramaComedy

Sully is a rascally ne'er-do-well approaching retirement age. While he is pressing a worker's compensation suit for a bad knee, he secretly works for his nemesis, Carl, and flirts with Carl's young wife Toby. Sully's long- forgotten son and family have moved back to town, so Sully faces unfamiliar family responsibilities. Meanwhile, Sully's landlady's banker son plots to push through a new development and evict Sully from his mother's life.

VIBE

A poignant, character-driven drama that feels like a lived-in, slightly worn-down small town. It's a wry, melancholic look at aging, regret, and the unexpected turns of family and connection. A quiet, contemplative watch.
