Title: The Family Planck: Lawless in L.A.
Description: “The family that steals together, stays together,” has always been the motto of the Family Planck — even though they’re not very good at the family profession. Patriarch Frank Sr. runs a modest protection racket in a local mall and has taken up tap dancing for anger management. His wife Felicity runs mail order scams from her home computer and dreams of shaking her booty on the beaches of the Bahamas. Their son Freddie “Two-Face” Planck is a smash-and-grab thief with a penchant for booze, and their daughter Freida is a consumer fraudster who’s fallen in love with a man from an enemy camp.Their eldest son, Frankie “Fair Deal” Planck, Jr. is a lawyer and son-in-law to a Senator, and he’s just been offered the deal of a lifetime, if he can get the rest of his crooked family to leave town — fast. When a ruthless loan shark demands repayment of an old debt, Frankie proposes an elaborate scheme to rob the loan shark so they can repay him with his own money and use the rest of the money to retire to the Bahamas.As the scheme moves forward, family members continue to pursue their individual criminal activities with the usual Planck-family mishaps and screw-ups. But this is one deal the family really can’t afford to end in failure..."
