House Arrest
There's More Than One Way To Keep A Marriage Together...
Directed by Harry Winer
Produced by Rysher Entertainment
A lighthearted family comedy about kids forcing their divorcing parents to reconcile through unconventional means, built on warmth, humor, and the belief that love can be restored.
High-schooler Grover Beindorf and his younger sister Stacy decide that their parents, Janet and Ned, are acting childishly when they decide to divorce after 18 years of marriage, so they lock them up in the basement until they'll sort out their problems.
