Pilot synopsis:

 

Nick Silver has a quarantine plan. Wife, Kate, and kids, Sophie and Dominic, are onboard. The plan: Fix up their fixer-upper, master remote school for the kids, organize their finances, and write the jazz music Nick's heart has been singing for years - in effect, reinvent their lives. Nick is determined that the newly dubbed "Magnificent Quarantinos" are going to rock this family upgrade!

 

Two years later, nothing has changed. The house is a wreck, their finances a disaster, and Nick is still singing somebody else's music in a local cover band while working days in the liquor store. Do Nick and Kate have what it takes to propel their lives to the next level? They think the answer might still be yes - even if it kills them.

​

THE MAGNIFICENT QUARANTINOS—every family has a story. 

​

 

In six months she's lost her voice, her husband, her job and her friends. Sound dire? Well this romantic comedy proves that sometimes silence speaks louder than words. With quirky resilience, a spirited woman finds more than love – she finds herself.
