Synopsis:

Cliff and Salena are happily living a nice, normal life in the suburbs. But their neighbors, Jimmy and
Polly, threaten to disrupt their domestic bliss. They’re sometimes a little strange—and sometimes
completely unhinged. Equally unnerving and delightful, TURNING OFF THE MORNING NEWS takes
hilarious aim at the absurdity of our modern world.
