The Synopsis

THIS WILL NEVER WORK is about a Black family coming together to have an intervention for Amanda's drinking problem. They've hired a therapist named Trevor (a white man, not that it matters), written emotional letters, and now they sit and wait for Amanda to arrive. But when she does, Trevor realizes that the family hasn't exactly been honest with him. "I think I should leave," he says. But listening isn't this family's strong suit, and they've already prepared for battle. The intervention turns into a whodunnit of all the family's drama and trauma. As we flash back and forth from contested family memories to the claustrophobic intervention room, we'll piece together the mysteries that haunt this family.
