What is City Island about? Toggle content

City Island: A Dysfunctional Family's Secrets Unveiled In the picturesque town of City Island, located in the Bronx, a seemingly normal family, the Rizzos, hide their unusual habits and career choices from each other. Vince Rizzo, the patriarch of the family and a corrections officer, has a secret illegitimate son, Tony Nardella, who is now a 24-year-old prison inmate. Unbeknownst to his family, Vince gets Tony released from prison and hires him as a household assistant, hoping to bond with his son without revealing their true relationship. Meanwhile, the Rizzos' 20-year-old daughter Vivian has secrets of her own: she's been suspended from college, lost her scholarship, gotten breast implants, and become a stripper to pay for her next semester. The youngest child, Vinnie Jr., harbors a sexual fetish for feeding large women and fantasizes about their fat next-door neighbor. Joyce Rizzo, Vince's wife, believing she's lost all marital intimacy, pursues Tony, her stepson—unaware of their true connection. As Vince successfully auditions for a role in an off-Broadway play, tensions rise as the family's web of lies and secrets begins to unravel. Will they be able to maintain their facade or will the truth ultimately bring them closer together? City Island is a heartwarming and hilarious tale of a family's quirks and imperfections, proving that honesty can be the best policy, even when it comes to life's most unexpected surprises.
