A dramedy by Sean Grennan about Ruthie and Bill (Vivian Reed and Scott Straus), empty-nester parents whose grown children - a priest (Aidan Fenton), an aspiring actress (Andie Pace), and a former football star (Ken Schwartz) - return home for Thanksgiving in 1980. As old family rituals resurface and ancient tensions flare, the family discovers they often arrive at unexpected destinations despite their plans. Glynda Welch directs the production.
