Plot: The dysfunctional family of Ira and Peggy Stuckman is going to be together for Passover for the first time in three years. Convening for the "world's fastest Passover Seder" are Ira and Peggy's children: Zeke, a misunderstood druggie, Ethan, a failed entrepreneur turned Chasidic, Lionel, an autistic teen and Nikki, a sex therapist - plus their cousin Vanessa and their estranged, lesbian half-sister, Jennifer. Sound like a modern Ten Plagues? Throw in a one-eyed Israeli tent salesman, a meal "kosher enough for Moses" and one tablet of Ecstasy, and the stage is set for an evening of Biblical proportions. Will the mismatched collection of guests ever be a family? It would take a whole lot of kosher wine - and maybe a miracle...
Alternative Plot: Members of the Stuckman family gather for Seder with patriarch Ira (Michael Lerner), an old-fashioned man who pushes his sons as hard as his own father (Jack Klugman) pushed him. Chaos erupts when one of Ira's sons slips him a hit of Ecstasy, turning him into a modern Moses.
