Six Feet Under

About the Show

In Los Angeles, patriarch Nathaniel Fisher dies in a car wreck on Christmas Eve, casting a pall over the holiday homecoming of son Nate. In addition to dealing with his dad`s death, Nate must cope with his controlling mother, Ruth, who has been having a secret affair; brother David, a closeted gay man who manages the business; and sister Claire, a rebellious teen who receives the bad news after taking drugs with her new boyfriend, Gabe.

The only seemingly positive aspect of Nate`s life is Brenda, a passionate woman he meets on the plane. But Brenda`s crazy family proves more dysfunctional than Nate`s.
