In Los Angeles in 2022, the Jacobson family is coming apart at the seams. A flood of Israeli refugees into the country has brought deep hostilities and latent anti-Semitism to the forefront of American life. Amid this fraught political climate, the Jacobson family gathers for Passover, reuniting from around the world for the first time in years. But despite the backdrop of increased intolerance and terror, their immediate problems seem to be more personal than political. The three adult children of Julian and Roz Jacobson — Moses, Edith, and Jacob — find themselves in various states of crisis, the result, each claims, of a lifetime of mistreatment by their sociopathic father. The Jacobson offspring have begun to suspect Julian is hastening their mother’s demise. And years of resentment reach a climax as the siblings debate whether to go through with the real reason for their reunion: an ill-considered plot to murder their father and end his iron rule once and for all. That is, if they can put aside the bickering and the grudges, not to mention the festering relationships they have with their partners and with one another long enough to act.
