HIS HEINOUS CRIME – DRAMEDY ABOUT BEING CAUGHT DRUNK DRIVING
Robert has a problem: He’s been caught Driving Under the Influence. He doesn’t want to tell his wife, Louise, since they have enough problems as it is, but he’s convinced his whole life is over. And the advice he gets from his self-centred son, Buck, and lawyer neighbour, Charlie (who it turns out has been secretly in love with Louise for years) doesn’t help matters. On top of all this, he gets fired from his job by his boss’ daughter, of all people. With so much going on around him, can Robert make the right decision about what to do next? A dramedy about being caught drunk driving.
