On the heels of yet another failed pregnancy, Harley, a former track star with rage problems, isn’t thrilled when her husband Mike invites his recently paroled cousin, Lenny, to help him open an ice cream shop in their rural North Carolina town. As Lenny ingratiates himself into their lives, Harley finds it increasingly difficult to reconcile the degenerate she remembers with the man Lenny is trying to be; especially when he falls in love with Harley’s drug addicted sister, Daisy. As the opening date for the ice cream shop grows near, Harley finds herself trapped in a power struggle with Lenny, forcing her to choose between the life she’s agreed to, and the one she is desperately barreling towards. A reflection on female rage, women’s rights, the rural white south, and the very American grip of nostalgia, Happy Harley is one woman’s attempt to carve out a small place for herself in a world she’s convinced has left her behind.

Bonnie, a human resources professional, has had overnight success with her motivational book “Keep Your Glasses On: A Girl’s Guide to Success in the Workplace.”Her older sister Corey, a Stanford-educated lesbian who fled her hometown the moment she got into college, has been laboring over a memoir for nearly a decade. When Bonnie invites Corey to her engagement party, Corey heads back home to try to rekindle her friendship with her younger sister—only to find that Bonnie is much more excited about her future sisters-to-be, Kayleigh and Larissa, than she ever was about Corey. Despite Bonnie’s best and meticulously planned efforts, her party threatens to be a total bust– especially when one of the sisters goes missing.

Olivia flies home to surprise her mother for her 55th birthday only to find Evelyn, clad in leather, waiting for a younger man she met on Craigslist to come over for sex. Things get more awkward when son, Tim, and his girlfriend, Sarah, show up unannounced with their own ideas of how to celebrate Evelyn's birthday.

In this banter-filled, bawdy comedy that is anything but polite, college co-eds navigate life, love, sex, and even the occasional home repair. Four unique women- a dry-witted intellectual, a hopeless romantic, an independent stoner, and a creative dreamer- encounter orgasms, Christianity, STD’s, and their post-graduation panic in a realistically frank manner, only possible between the closest of friends. The Kitchen Sink is a mix of hilarity and despair where political incorrectness and awkward sexual confessions provide these characters comic relief from the weighty burden of their impending adult lives.
