Set in Manchester, NH, Frank (John Pollono, writer/director), Swaino (Jon Bernthal, Marvel’s The Punisher), and Packie (Shea Whigham) are lifelong friends who share a love of the Red Sox, rowdy bars, and Frank’s teenaged daughter Crystal (Ciara Bravo). But when Frank invites his pals to a whiskey-fueled evening and asks them to do a favor on behalf of the brash young woman they all adore, events spin wildly out of control. Based on Pollono’s award-winning play, Small Engine Repair is a pitch-black comedic drama with a wicked twist, and a powerful exploration of brotherhood, class struggle, and toxic masculinity.
