You Only Call When You're in Trouble

After a lifetime of kindly taking care of his irresistible but impossible sister and her wonderful daughter, Tom is finally ready to put himself first. An architect, he finally has an opportunity to build his masterpiece with a new client. Assuming, that is, his rich, fickle client - the last woman he slept with before coming out - doesn’t follow through on her threats to mess it up. Naturally, that’s when his phone rings. His niece, Cecily (the real love of Tom’s life, as his boyfriend reminded him when moving out), is caught up in a Title IX investigation at the college where she teaches, and his sister Dorothy is planning to invest her net worth in a retreat center with a “famous” wellness guru. Oh, and after thirty-four years, Dorothy now wants to reveal the identity of Cecily’s father. Tom does what he always does - answers the call. And therein lies either the beauty or dysfunction, (or perhaps both) of the sometimes too-tight ties that bind families together.
