Fruit
A successful outsider returns home to run his late father's produce empire and discovers that in South Philly, fruit isn't the only thing that can rot from the inside out.
The Bear × The Sopranos. Richie "Ant" DeMarco inherits SP Produce Distribution after his father drops dead. His attempt to bring modernization and AI into a world that still settles scores with fists and favors faces headwinds. Rival Cambodian gangs smell weakness. Family, business, blood — and more than fruit that beings to rot.
Human
Darkly comedic tone, characters, story, dialogue, set design, and the cut remain with the writers and director.
