Punchy, acerbic, sharp-witted and above-all, acutely observed, Born
Free tells the story of an ordinary family who are all trying to escape
from something - and each other.
The interactions between Jake, Joni, Angie and Vic reveal a hellish
cocktail of asdolescent and mid-life crises; the savagery of sibling
rivalry; the waking nightmare of a marriage gone cold - and, naturally,
the unbridgeable, infernal chasm between the generations.
It's a story of everyday life.
