가족과 떨어져 뉴욕에 혼자 살고 있는 에이프릴 번즈는 추수감사절을 맞아 가족들을 자신의 집으로 초대한다.
가족들이 펜실베니아 근교로부터 뉴욕으로 오는 동안, 에이프릴은 가족들을 맞이하기 위한 준비과정에서 갖가지 코미디를 연출한다.
Quirky and rebellious April Burns lives with her boyfriend in a low-rent New York City apartment miles away from her emotionally distant family.
But when she discovers that her mother has a fatal form of breast cancer, she invites the clan to her place for Thanksgiving.
While her father struggles to drive her family into the city, April -- an inexperienced cook -- runs into kitchen trouble and must ask a neighbor for help.
