Roc

Roc

Roc Emerson (Charles S. Dutton) collects garbage during the days. His sassy, sexy wife, Eleanor (Ella Joyce), works nights. So instead of spending time with the woman he loves, Roc must tolerate his grouch live-in father, Andrew (Carl Gordon), and Roc’s slick younger brother, Joey (Rocky Carroll), in this genuinely funny comedy about the struggles of a working class-family.
