After breaking off his engagement to his long time girlfriend, late night radio DJ Robby Morgan, comes home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Upon arriving, he is informed that the family will be getting together that evening at their favorite Chinese restaurant, The Golden Buddha, for an announcement. At dinner, Robby, his hypochondriac younger brother Charlie, and his adopted sister Brooke soon learn that their dad, Cliff, is being "let go" from his 20 year job. Concerned and disappointed, the kids try to console their dad, only to discover that something much worse is actually happening. After thirty years of marriage, their parents, Cliff and Carol, are getting a divorce.
