"The Cake Eaters" is a quirky, small town, ensemble drama that explores

the lives of two interconnected families coming to terms with love in the

face of loss.

Living in rural America, The Kimbrough family is a normally odd bunch;

Easy, the patriarch, owns a butcher shop and finds himself grieving over

the loss of his wife, Ceci, while hiding a secret ongoing relationship for

years; Beagle, his youngest son who was left to care for his ailing

mother, works in the local high school cafeteria by day but has a

burning passion inside that manifests itself through painting; and the

eldest son, Guy, has been away from the family for years while pursuing

his musical aspirations in the big city until the day he learns of his

mother's passing and that he's missed the funeral.

Upon Guy's return home, the complex nature of each character unravels;

Beagle's pent up emotions connect with Georgia Kaminski, a terminally

ill teenage girl wanting to experience love before it's too late; Easy's long

time affair with Marg, Georgia's eccentric grandmother, is exposed to the

Kimbrough family; and Guy discovers that, in his absence, his high

school sweetheart, Stephanie, has moved on and started a family

of her own.

Through it all, The Kimbroughs and Kaminski's manage to establish a

new beginning in the face of their greatest fears; life, death and family...
