Quitters
Synopsis
Quitters is a dark look at affluent families in the world of privileged San Francisco. Clark Rayman is a precocious high schooler whose world is crumbling around him. When his mother checks into rehab and he and his father clash, Clark goes in search of something better. Craving the affection of his new girlfriend Natalia's much more stable family, he convinces her to let him move in. As his presence becomes more intrusive, and his father's efforts to get him back become more violent, Natalia and her family grow increasingly uncomfortable with the arrangement. When Clark is finally asked to leave, he has nowhere left to go.
