Cast

Premise

The American Standards portrays an American family. Finding himself at a life crossroad after marriage problems, Doc Jennings (Nemec) goes to his parents' home to celebrate his mother, Ann's birthday (Cassidy). While family and friends seem to think everything's fine, he notices some dramatic changes between his mother and father, Jack (Brolin). He stays at their home afterward and learns the dark secrets of his seemingly perfect family. Lies, affairs, and afflictions. Then after a life-threatening accident, the family realizes they have to come together. After bitter fights and twists in fate, the house slowly becomes a home, recognizing....it's never too late. .
