A family portrait
A worried house wife groped by her lecherous husband
An overbaring father threatens his young son.

You Can Do It! (Follow Your Dreams)

In a world where carrots and sticks are replaced by trophies and kitchen knives, Billy's family will do anything to help the little duffer reach his full potential. But, I mean, how is he ever going to achieve anything if he can't even kill himself?

Billy's family are at the end of their tether. Dad's firm hand isn't working. Mum's coddling seems to have made him weaker. Billy looks up to Thad, but they're too different to understand each other. Perhaps Fleur can set an example? She's succeeded at everything else, so perhaps she can show him how this whole silly 'suicide' thing is done? Can't hurt... he's family after all and what wouldn't we do for our family :)

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like watching the Brady Bunch in the throws of an acid trip: oscillating between delightful and shambolic, but you cannot look away. - Cher Tan, The Age
