Vernon

By Perk Perkins

          If Archie Bunker and the Grumpy Old Men had a three-way, Vernon would be their love child! After erasing that disturbing scene from your mind and coming to grips with the biological impossibilities of such a union, prepare yourself to take a laugh filled adventure with a crusty, cantankerous World War Two, veteran named, Vernon.

          Bill Kiley, an accountant in Los Angeles has made a mess of his life. He was caught cheating on his wife; then divorced and lost his 2 kids and everything he has within a few short months. Bill has kept his divorce a secret from his folks back in Iowa until his mom dies from a stroke. Now he must tell his mean-spirited father what a failure he has become.

 But Vernon surprises his son first with bigger news. The old man is dying of cancer and wants to spend his few remaining days surrounded by a loving, happy family…like the one Bill just destroyed.

With secret hopes of a possible reconciliation with his family, Bill convinces his wife Crystal and their son and daughter to fake it, for Grandpa's sake. Life is about to get difficult and hilarious for all when, bigoted, ornery, foul mouth and smelly Vernon moves in!
