A bittersweet indie comedy-drama about a estranged daughter attempting reconciliation with her dying mother through a chaotic Thanksgiving dinner, balancing humor with genuine emotional stakes.

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.
