Tracey Lange's We Are the Brennans, which is reminiscent of Mary Beth Keane's Ask Again, Yes and Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's The Nest, examines the enduring power of shame and the healing power of love in an Irish Catholic family shattered by secrets.
Sunday Brennan, age 29, swallows her pride and returns to her family in New York after suffering severe bruises and other injuries in a drunk driving accident that she caused. She wakes up in a hospital in Los Angeles. But it isn't simple. They have questions because she left them all, along with her high school lover, five years ago without giving any reason.
Even if it means walking carefully past bitter brothers and an ex-fiance, Sunday is determined to start again on the east coast. But the longer she remains, the more she understands that they are as much in need of her as she is. The only way to save her family when a violent guy from her past puts their family's bar company in risk of going bankrupt is to uncover all of their secrets, which have harmed the family for many generations and will jeopardise all they know about their lives. Following the incident, the Brennan family must face up to unpleasant errors and, in the end, work together to find a path forward.
