"For some kids, perception is reality."

 
Sunday Punch tells the story of North America's last remaining non-dysfunctional family. After spending his teenage years at an isolated religious retreat, Matthew Bethel returns to his peaceful Catholic home. He soon meets an old friend from grade school, Curtis, who introduces him to everything he's missed while he was away: rampant divorce, domestic violence, teenage sex and adulterous parents. Curtis, a self-appointed enemy of hypocrisy, devotes his evenings to filming these acts, then selling them to reality TV shows.

As his world's once-golden veneer is slowly stripped away, Matthew attempts to save his family from the selfishness infecting his neighborhood and soon is forced to consider whether it is actually worth saving.
