in the OK boomerLuPone plays Barbara in a self-centered boomer who shows up at the house of her estranged daughter Sarah (Hayes) hoping to make a living from the family’s money. Family abductions occur when she clashes with her cautious and progressive granddaughter, but forms an unexpected bond with her when challenged because of her differing views.
Sasso will play Nick, Sarah’s (Hayes) older brother, who recently got divorced and is getting his life back on track while staying at Sarah’s guest house. Unlike his sister, Nick is excited about her mother’s return and tries to earn her approval. Chiou will portray Trevor, Sarah’s even-tempered husband who runs a construction company. He tries to help his wife adapt to her family, who move in with them and bring with them all their eccentricities. Manarel is Campbell, Sarah’s oldest, a socially conscious high school freshman committed to progressive causes but also just a teenager full of self-doubt and fear. Chee plays Jacob, Sarah and Trevor’s youngest, a bright, sensitive, but fear-ridden boy who lets fear rule his life.
