Love of family is the mantra that runs throughout this endearingly warm-hearted comedy.  The audience is taken on a sweet and sentimental journey to grandparent's house in Hoboken, New Jersey.  At the heart of the plot is a tight-knit Italian-American family.  Nick Christano is a 29-year old marketing executive who dutifully visits his four grandparent's house every Sunday for dinners which are governed by "the three F's" - family, faith and food. One Sunday he has an exciting though devastating announcement - he's being promoted to a new position in Seattle.  As Nick is their only relative left in the area, the grandparents do all they can to get him to stay.
