Fake Fam'

Though sisters, CAP KARMONA and JULIE BAKER couldn’t be more different. Cap is a freewheeling artist who makes ends meet by hosting infomercials, and Julie is a top-notch, highly-organized event planner. Both are the daughters of the quirky - but lovable BARB KARMONA… who has a secret. Barb (when a young woman) had once served as a surrogate mother for her best friend, and as a result, she has a third surrogate “daughter” that no one knows about. …This third daughter (SHAUNA JONES - straight-laced, and expecting), is moving (along with her husband, JOHN) into town! Cap and Julie are determined to prove their acceptance of Shauna to the family by throwing her a surprise baby shower. Meanwhile, Cap takes a commercial gig for a social media app called “RELATIATECTIVE” - a profiling tool designed to solve all your relationship mysteries. …Additionally, Cap forms an online relationship with a co-worker named FRANK O’SULLIVAN, who is managing a false profile on a travel blog as a favor for his technologically-impaired father (who’s using the blog as a teaching tool for his geography class). The only problem is - Cap thinks that his profile is real. And Frank is too nervous to come clean. As the party-planning progresses, a series of errors and miscommunications turns the simple task into an all-out war between sisters. Because of Julie’s poor communication, Cap accidentally books the wrong venue, and charges a $9,000 resort to Julie’s company credit card! And Julie faces a major personal trial of her own, and wants to ask Cap for help… but is convinced that Cap is too irresponsible to trust. Sibling rivalry sets in, and the baby shower expands out of control. If the Karmona family hopes to survive the spring, Cap and Julie must learn that even the worst of relationships can be saved, as long as one is willing to love selflessly. Fake Fam’ is ultimately about finding unity by choosing to view our loved ones through a lens of love, commitment, and reality; and by refusing to become divided by the false “wisdom” that the world offers.
