All Happy Families is an engaging account of a Chicago family that seems relatively unhappy but might actually be as much as can be expected, and relatively aware of that.

Graham, a mostly failed writer and actor, is managing his childhood duplex purchased by his older, and more successful actor, brother Will, and Dana, a former college friend, agrees to rent it. His parents Sue and Roy are coming for the weekend to help prepare the apartment for a new tenant, and then Will unexpectedly arrives ostensibly to escape LA but actually to avoid inappropriate behavior accusations.
