Less Than Kind follows Sheldon Blecher, a smart fat teenager growing up as the only sane adult in a family of children in Winnipeg. His family consists of a self destructive driving instructor father, a pyromaniac mother and a handsome egotistical brother. They struggle to stay together and revive the failing family business, Blecher's Driving School. As a family they're obliged to love each other, but that doesn't mean they have to be nice about it.
