Each child arrives with a hidden agenda, old wounds, and competing claims to his empire, turning what was meant to be a farewell into the most chaotic, hilarious, and revealing week of their lives.Half siblings with the same father are called to his home to be informed that he is terminally ill. His dying wish is that all his family stay under the same roof for one week, however tensions mount and conflicts arise as the week progresses.
