The Whittiers have built a happy life together with a brood of six children raised in a beautiful historic Manhattan mansion. But when tragedy strikes, the Whittiers' adult children find themselves reuniting in the family home without their parents for the first time ever. The oldest, Lyle, is reaching a breaking point in his marriage. Gloria's big job on Wall Street has kept her single at thirty-nine, and growing ever more cynical. The twins, Caroline and Charlie, run a fashion business that may now be faltering. Benjie, with special needs, is hit hard by the loss of his parents and needs his siblings' help. And Annabelle, the youngest, drops out of college. The eldest four are forced to put aside their personal issues and their grief to keep the family together and support each other and their two youngest siblings.
