Every family has rules, routines, and rituals that hold it together. But sometimes those are the very things that tear them apart. THE FAMILY CODE is an intense and gritty, family drama featuring the troubled and chaotic life of Hannah Belenko, a young woman dogged by the brutality of past traumas, and a code of silence that she must crack in order to be free. It unabashedly reveals the power and perils of parenting both under the public microscope and behind the suburban facade. The state permanently removes Hannah's daughter, sending her into flight mode with her remaining son at stake. She is unable to learn that no matter how hard she tries, she cannot outrun herself or her upbringing. She flees from Ottawa to Dartmouth and meets up with others on the precipice of life. Driven by a desperation to survive and the elusiveness of hope, she makes an enormous gamble, risking her son and her sanity.
