From the author of Lunenburg and last season’s hit, Halfway There, comes the US premiere of a hilarious and heartwarming new comedy about love, family and getting married.

When a widowed father summons his grown children home to share some “big news”, they arrive in tears convinced he must be dying -- why else would he pay for their plane tickets? But Dad has good news - he’s fallen in love and wants everyone to meet her! Whether you’re a parent or a child, this laugh-out-loud comedy about the people we love and the people they love, is for you!
