Step into the lively, slightly chaotic world of the Madison family just before Christmas 2024 in "Burnt Around The Edges." Meet Marion, a mom on the brink of perfectionism, determined to nail every detail for her daughter Nori's return from college. But chaos ensues when her husband Carl, more focused on chips and TV post-injury, adds his own flavor to the mix. And just when Marion thinks she's got it all under control, enter her widowed mother Charlotte, with a surprising new hobby that flips Marion's world upside down and exposes the family's hidden anxieties.
As Charlotte's bold pursuits spark unexpected connections and hilarious clashes, the pristine facade of the Madison home starts to crack. Secrets bubble to the surface, pushing Marion to confront truths she's buried deep. What happens when the pursuit of perfection gives way to surprising confessions and unconventional dreams? Join this "burnt around the edges" family as they discover that sometimes, the most delicious moments unfold when you ditch the recipe and savor the messy delight of life.
