Exploring the plot of Jason Bateman's Black Rabbit
Black Rabbit's sibling rivalry highlights the perils of not keeping secrets from one another. The life of Jude Law's character, Jake Friedken, who owns a fancy restaurant and nightclub in New York City, is completely upended when he chooses to contact his younger brother Vince, played by Jason Bateman.
Vince, whose careless behavior had previously caused Jake a great deal of stress, reappears, adding to the problems that Jake already faced and bringing in fresh dangers that threaten all Jake has been working so hard to create.
In addition, the series delves into the themes of personal atonement, familial loyalty, and the price of forgiveness and subsequent opportunities. As Vince's story unfolds, Jake and his close friends and family are put in danger by other people and various circumstances.
Black Rabbit is executive produced by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman for Youngblood Pictures. They are accompanied by Bateman, Michael Costigan, and Roxie Rodriguez for Aggregate Films; Brian Kavanaugh-Jones from Automatik; Law and Ben Jackson for Riff Raff Entertainment; Andrew Hinderaker, Zac Frognowski, Justin Levy, David Bernon, and Erica Kay.
