Mortimer Brewster is trying to maintain a grip on normalcy, but his eccentric family isn’t making it easy. One brother is convinced he’s Teddy Roosevelt and spends his days excavating the Panama Canal in their basement. Another brother is on the run from the law, hiding his identity through a series of disastrous plastic surgeries. Meanwhile, Mortimer’s two sweetly unassuming aunts have a peculiar hobby—welcoming lonely boarders into their home and serving them a deadly dose of their infamous elderberry wine.
As if managing his chaotic household weren’t enough, Mortimer has fallen head over heels for Elaine, the minister’s daughter next door. However, introducing her to a family with such sinister secrets might just put a damper on their budding romance. Set in the quirky world of 1940s Brooklyn, this uproarious dark comedy will have you laughing out loud—and thinking twice before accepting any elderberry wine!
