    • Synopsis
    • After their grandmother’s passing during the family's favorite holiday season,
      Jennifer (Raffaela Capp) and Natalyn (Natasha Capp), who have been estranged from the Russo family because of an old family conflict between the family’s patriarch (Robert Davi) and their rebellious mother (Tori London), travel 3,000 miles home during the Christmas holiday and reunite with their family; Aunt Angie, Uncle Anthony, Uncle Tommy and Uncle Sebestraino. (Teri Polo, Mike Marino, Nicholas Turturro and Jayson Bernard). The girls along with their two favorite cousins Millie (Ayla Kell) and Stephanie (Lily Gibson) come together before the funeral, planning to sing a song requested by their Grandfather at the wake.

      While their intentions are noble, their plan led by Jennifer is in direct conflict with their grandfather's wish.
      In the days surrounding the wake, each of the girls is forced to come to grips with outside difficulties apart from the death of their family's matriarch. As emotions run high and family members spin out of control, the girls are reminded of where they came from and what really matters, while discovering hope for their futures! Similar in theme to ““Family Stone” the tone of “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” with the ever common theme when we go “Home Again” for Christmas.
