SYNOPSIS:
After being fired for inappropriate behavior, Franklin returns to his teenage home, now occupied by his baby crazed sister and her politico husband. Hoping to rekindle an old high school flame, Franklin instead ignites past grief and takes nerves to their breaking point as he discovers himself and the meanings of family and unconditional love. Franklin is a funny family tragedy for the ironically detached-a story of overcoming Generation Y cynicism and grown ups, well, growing up.
