Family. Redefined.

For Tony Soprano, there's no such thing as business as usual. Balancing the demands of his immediate family - wife Carmela, daughter Meadow and son Anthony, Jr - with the demands of his other family - Paulie Walnuts, Silvio Dante and Big Pussy Bonpensiero - means walking a tightrope no self-respecting mobster should have to walk. With his mother and uncle plotting against him, his older sister Janice wreaking her own special kind of havoc, and the very real threat that one of his closest allies is wired by the F.B.I., Tony needs the support of his psychiatrist Dr. Melfi more than ever.
