United States of Tara stars Oscar nominee Toni Collette as “Tara,” a suburban wife and mother struggling with DID (dissociative identity disorder).
Executive produced by Steven Spielberg and created by Diablo Cody, the series delves into how a family copes with the various personalities that may appear on any given day, including “T,” a provocative teenager, “Buck,” a gun-toting Vietnam vet and “Alice,” a Betty Crocker homemaker – and potentially others along the way.
Suburban wife and mom Tara Gregson tries to lead a normal life with her husband Max and teenage children Kate and Marshall while suffering from multiple personalities.
Tara feels like a failure as a mother when she is unable to counsel her children, so she turns to her perfect-homemaker personality Alice for help.
A date night with Max turns into a male-bonding session when Tara inadvertently becomes Buck; Tara's sister Charmaine recommends her for a mural.
Tara is feeling better than she has in a long time as her mural project progresses well and she makes a new friend, Tiffany.
