BRUISER is a family drama on Hulu about the coming of age of a 14-year-old black teenager, his family dynamics and relationship to a drifter who may be more than what he seems. Coming home for vacation from his expensive preparatory school in the city, 14-year-old Darious finds himself without friends. Also, his strict father, Malcolm, a car salesman, is overly busy and aloof, and his Christian mother, Monica, is loving but somewhat suffocating. Darious finds out the drifter, Porter, is his biological father. He decides to try to get to know Porter. However, this creates conflict, especially with the stepfather. Has Darious, in seeking solace from someone “cool” rather than someone of good character, made a mistake he’ll regret?
