A serial comedy/drama about a Confirmed Bachelor who loved animals more than people, and the people who loved him.

SYNOPSIS:

Comps- This Is Us, Durrell's of Corfu, 6-Feet Under & Schitt's Creek

Uncle Jerry raises animals for a living, hiding from people because of his homosexuality, especially his family. Cutting back and forth through time, we see the comedic fallout after his death and the rehoming of 5,000 animals, then as he navigates the 1950's an impossible world for a gay man with a small zoo. A look into the life of a man so ashamed of his true self, he prefers the company of animals. It is a comic/absurd dive into funerals, families and shame.

Told in two different time periods, the 1950's and the 1990's, we learn what it was like to be a gay man in hiding and the aftermath of a life only half lived. Jerry built his life around caring for animals and hiding his true self. The period pieces of the '50s will include the lack of empathy, and single-minded Americans struggle to consume, be the same, and keep everything status quo.

In the 1990s, we share the story of a man who has died alone and left 5000 animals that needed homes. The family of misfits comes together to morn and disassemble his hermit life. We will flash back-and-forth through timelines from the past to see Jerry and his struggles and the current time his family has to take his estate apart.
