Brian Worthington left home to get away from dad Frank, who can't understand any of his kids and prefers his pets. Brian finally returns for Thanksgiving and finds little has changed: mom Dottie is still trying to hold the family together; aimless 20-something Kenny still lives at home; and Erin has moved back in, with daughter Maddy, after a messy divorce. Brian does reconnect with family friend Allison but the shocker is when he gets pressured to dispose of the family member Frank loves the best--dog Argus.
