The film deals with a dysfunctional family, who have lost their way, and a distant relative played by Pierrino Mascarino intends to bring them closer together.[3]
A father, Robert Micelli (Joe Mantegna),[4] has become a stranger to his family and thinks only of his lawn and job.

Nino helps the family realize the true value of family.
