City IslandSet in a quaint fishing community on the outskirts of the Bronx, this smart and charming comedy explores the absurd secrets and vices people choose to keep from their loved ones…When prison guard and aspiring actor Vince Rizzo (Andy Garcia) is asked to reveal his biggest secret during his drama class, he sets off a chain of events that turn his mundane suburban life into total chaos. Soon it becomes clear that everyone - his hot-tempered wife (Julianna Margulies), college student daughter, ex-con son, charismatic acting partner, and even his drama coach (Alan Arkin) - all have secrets of their own.
