When the Great Recession sweeps through the country, real estate agent Tom Feather has five days to sell two houses or face bankruptcy and foreclosure. To keep up appearances, Tom makes a reckless, ill-conceived attempt to capture a wild turkey for Thanksgiving.
When his wife Amy and their children discover his deception, the Feathers are forced out of their comfort zone and into the modest home of their immigrant gardener for an unusual holiday dinner. There, they see how a family living under immense pressure-the threat of deportation-manages to carry on with love, grace, and humility.
A fragile hope arrives when Tom signs a deal with an anonymous company that will allow his family to remain in their home as renters. But the relief quickly vanishes. Tom learns the company has left a trail of evicted sellers, and an FBI investigation of real-estate fraud threatens to place him squarely in their sights.
With their future on the line, Tom and Amy launch an urgent investigation to clear their names before the holiday season ends in disaster.
Darkly funny and deeply humane, Suburban Wildlife is a family drama wrapped in a mystery. Within its twists and turns, it reveals the animal instincts people adopt when suburbia cracks, and the unexpected alliances that can lead them back to grace when the American dream no longer feels secure.
