City Island

Truth is stranger than family

A warm, character-driven comedy about a dysfunctional Bronx family whose carefully guarded secrets unravel when an ex-convict disrupts their fragile equilibrium.

The Rizzos, a family who doesn't share their habits, aspirations, and careers with one another, find their delicate web of lies disturbed by the arrival of a young ex-con brought home by Vince, the patriarch of the family, who is a corrections officer in real life, and a hopeful actor in private.
