The recipe is simple. The family isn’t.

Alison is determined to host the perfect Thanksgiving dinner for her unpredictable family. But as traditions collide and tensions rise, the day quickly spirals into chaos. Between clashing personalities, unexpected distractions, and everything that can go wrong… going wrong, she’s left trying to keep the peace before the entire day falls apart.
