Folks!

Jon Aldrich enjoys a stable life with his wife Audrey and their two kids. His elderly father Harry, who suffers from dementia, returns and has accidentally burned down his own house. This forces Jon to confront the unexpected responsibilities of caring for Harry and managing the chaos he brings.

Jon pleads with his sister Arlene to take in Harry and Mildred. Arlene won't help and won't even answer the door, leaving the burden to fall entirely on Jon's family.

Harry and Mildred relocate to Jon's home, turning a peaceful household into a crowded, tense scene. Their presence destabilizes routines and strains finances as bills pile up. The family begins to realize how quickly things can spiral.

Jon discovers the company he works for is involved in illegal activities that he did not participate in. When others refuse to believe him, he is fired and left without a job. The loss of income compounds the already fragile family situation.

With finances wrecked and life increasingly unmanageable, Audrey walks out with the children. The family loses almost everything they had, leaving only the apartment as a last remnant of their former stability.

Harry's deteriorating health leads to a string of accidents that physically injure Jon. He suffers hearing loss, a broken hand and foot, and even loses a testicle as a result of the chaos surrounding Harry. The toll on Jon's body and mind deepens the crisis.

In a misguided attempt to take the kids for a walk, Harry endangers everyone by jaywalking in an intersection. The incident highlights how unpredictable and dangerous Harry's condition has become for the family.

Mildred and Harry reveal that they want Jon to help them die so he can collect the insurance money. Jon initially opposes the plan, recognizing the moral and legal danger of participating. The idea plants the seed of a dark, escalating arc for the story.

Jon begins assisting in the botched suicide attempts, while Arlene arrives with her two corpulent sons, seeking shelter and a cut of the money. She joins the plan, hoping to profit, but her efforts also end in failure. The situation grows more chaotic as everyone becomes complicit in the danger.

Audrey returns to confess that she was wrong to leave and to express her love for Jon. She sees the injuries Jon has suffered and realizes the depth of the strain on their family. The couple contemplates reconciliation amid the continuing crisis.

Arlene, Harry, and Mildred disappear, and Jon realizes they are likely to try again. He tracks them down and stops their plan, despite taking on more injuries in the struggle. The immediate threat to the family is finally confronted.

Jon and Audrey rebuild their life by buying a house in the country. Harry and Mildred move in with them, seeking a calmer environment and the support they helped precipitate. The family begins to regain footing after the chaos.

Arlene is connected with a man who can handle her misbehaving sons, finding a new situation that better suits her. Her personal life begins to stabilize even as the family rebuilds around the core couple.

The final reveal shows Harry has been financially secure not because of hunger, but because he bought stock in McDonnell Douglas years earlier. He is now worth a fortune, reframing the earlier jokes about his appetite and dementia.
