Welcome to Alabaster Harbour© The three Flynn daughters - Abigail, Louise and Harper - are each rebelling towards adulthood, whilst their two Flynn parents - Bud and Catherine - just can''t stop behaving like kids. It''s been disastrous since Bud and Catherine opened up their marriage, and none of the Flynns can remember the last time a meal was cooked, a load of laundry was done, or a social code was abided by. Not that Catherine and Bud aren''t trying - and trying new things. Bud still drives to his job at the Harbour© in the family minivan, which, yes, is also now his home, and Catherine still refuses to conform to domestic pressures - she''s an artist, a woman, and no one understands her! And the girls? Surely they''re fine, whatever it is they''re up to. As the Flynns are each occupied by their own upheavals, Lost Lambs expands past them into a hilarious portrait of suburban dysfunction, all the way up to a nefarious local billionaire whose machinations may just - finally - bring the family closer together. This is an original, funny and compassionate portrait of the perverse pleasures and perils of our most intimate reality: our family.
