Frankie Scordato is born into the endearing chaos of an Italian American household. Laugh, cry and relate to this heart-warming coming of age story that highlights how families shape us, how friendships save us, and how faith can leave us with a lifetime of questions.

With a lush, contemporary score that travels through the 1970s, 80s, 90s and beyond, the unique and searing sounds of collaborators Joe Langworth and Steve Marzullo will leave you enamored.
