Forced to either return home or return to prison, Jake Groden (played by Kissing Jessica Stein’s Scott Cohen) chooses to face his family after 15 years of prison and alcohol. However, when he arrives, he learns that his twin brother (the “good” twin) has died, his father (Judd Hirsch) is being forced to sell the family furniture building business, his brother’s widow doesn’t trust him, and his teenage nephew is creeped-out by the uncanny resemblance to his dead father. Knowing that without a job his parole officer will send him back to prison, Jake, always the superior carpenter to his brother, convinces his father and sister-in-law to keep the shop open. Things go well. There are even signs that Jake might be able to reconcile with his father. But when faced with a large furniture order he can’t afford to lose, Jake takes desperate action that risks destroying his fragile sobriety and the family he has only recently regained.
