Finding Joy Plot Summary
What happens in Finding Joy from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Pompous and self-absorbed, KYLE LIVINGSTON (played by Josh Cooke), who is in his mid-30s, finds himself in a rut, yearning for the glory of his first novel’s success. Things take a turn for the worse, forcing him to return home to his wildly eccentric family, feeling defeated. Upon his arrival, he discovers that his estranged father, ALAN (portrayed by Barry Bostwick), a handsome yet agoraphobic curmudgeon in his 60s, has transformed Kyle’s old bedroom into an appalling bathroom. This revelation only exacerbates Kyle’s frustration with his family, which includes his older brother, MARSHALL (played by Tyler Bunch), a goofy telemarketer harboring a secret, and his sister-in-law, PATSY (a role by Kiki Harris), a highly strung former cheerleader grappling with a meltdown.
