Seth Graham is a self-centered senior in high school. His main struggles involve waking up on time, getting a girl to look at him, and being aware of his own shortcomings. Carter Kennedy is an unemployed slacker in his late-20s. His friends are all married and have kids, his parents pay for his apartment rent, and he’s dying of kidney failure. Seth and Carter are cousins. When Seth sees his cousin’s dilemma as an opportunity to prove he’s not as self-centered as he once thought, he offers his kidney to Carter. What follows is the story of two cousins going through the happy, sad, funny, frustrating, and emotional process of an organ transplant while also getting to know one another for the first time. “Kidney Beans” is a comedic drama about family, friends, and maturity.
