Sunnyside is named after the neighborhood in the historically diverse Queens borough of New York where the show is set, reports the Sunny Side Post. It centers on former New York City Councilman Garrett Shah (Penn), who finds his calling when faced with seven recent immigrants — five of them played by immigrant actors — in need of his help and in search of the American Dream.
