Set in the unstable business world of the 1990 Gulf War, Saving the Karamazovs tells the story of three brothers whose good intentions and dysfunctions pull their family into an ugly war of its own. Twenty years after a heroic but bloody tour in Vietnam, Jeff Bascomb fails to protect the people who depend on him. A financial scandal puts his company in jeopardy, he and his wife stand to lose millions, his parents may lose their retirement, and his employees will lose their livelihoods. His dependable older brother, Kevin, is now mired in poor health and depression, and his only advice is to call their youngest brother Jerry away from a lucrative Wall Street job, back to L.A. to become the company's interim CEO. Jeff and Jerry have warred their entire lives for Kevin's affection, but agree to a truce for the family's sake. Jerry is a diplomatic negotiator, keen money expert, and a brilliant manager, the perfect man for the job, until he falls in love with Jeff's mistress, Helen. The secrets Helen reveals about their family places the company on the front lines of a battle that could hurt each and every one of them beyond repair.
