Wicked Child

David Rosenberg

Jake brings his new girlfriend, Amelia, to his close-knit, blended family’s Passover Seder. Despite being a fish out of water, Amelia makes a great impression on the family, though she’s thrown off guard by the tonal discrepancy between the family’s joy and the Passover story—which plants a seed of doubt in Jake’s mind. But the real disruption to the holiday is the news that Jake’s stepbrother, Ben, is quitting his lucrative consulting job and moving to Israel. After a year away, everyone in the secular family has come to terms with the news, except Jake, whose disagreement with his stepbrother’s choices are threatening to make him a pariah in his own family. Will the family be able to survive beyond the Seder?
