Plot Synopsis

The Royal family, led by patriarch Leighton and matriarch Alfreda, want their overly busy children to visit for the Thanksgiving holiday. In order to get their attention, they concoct a fake break-up ruse to lure them home to help in this family crisis. Surprises and challenges ensue, including drama with Alfreda's envious sister Mona Levi; the revelation of a deep, dark family secret involving Alfreda's former acquaintance Chivonne Price; and dealings with Leighton's super-loud, outspoken cousin Nelson Royal. Unfortunately, Leighton and Alfreda both play their roles too well as old wounds are re-opened and their carefully planned reunion leads to chaos and a potentially real break-up of their marriage.
