Four sisters. One diner.

A Mother's Day nobody will ever forget.

It's the middle of the night in the Bronx, and Margo Conti has just discovered that the man she loves isn't quite the man she thought he was.

Enter her older sister Lisa, who has a solution for everything—including problems nobody asked her to solve.

Before long, an emergency meeting of SCUM (Sisters Counteracting Undesirable Men) is called at the Golden Coach Diner, better known to its regulars as the Golden Roach.

What follows is a gloriously dysfunctional family reunion as four sisters gather to confront betrayal, romantic disasters, old resentments, and one another.

Between the insults, accusations, family secrets, and increasingly outrageous confrontations, a simple late-night meeting turns into a full-scale battle of the sexes—with the occasional collateral casualty.

But beneath the wisecracks, the anger, and the chaos lies something these women have spent their lives trying to understand: what it really means to be family.

LAST STAND AT THE GOLDEN ROACH is a fast-paced, irreverent, two-act farce about sisterhood, infidelity, dysfunctional families, forgiveness, and the extraordinary lengths people will go to protect the people they love—even when they can't stand them.

Because sometimes the only thing harder than loving your family is surviving them.
