Tony and his girlfriend Chris lead a happy and quiet lifestyle with Tony's kids in New Jersey with Chris looking after the teenaged kids as if they were her own. But with the arrival of Chris's brother the family is forever changed, and the true nature of love is tested by a deeply held secret in this shattering and unconventional story.

The children-Joey, 17; Angie, 16; and Mario, the youngest at 13-are shattered as they see their father devastated by the circumstances that threaten to upend his relationship with the caring woman who was their surrogate mother for nearly a decade.

Set in 1980s New Jersey, ON A STOOL AT THE END OF THE BAR is a shattering drama that asks if love is a strong enough bond to hold this unconventional family together.
