As their respective families meet and greet each just as meddlesome and inflexible as the other North meets South and the fireworks and cultural misunderstandings are plenty.A tornado blows through the small Mississippi town where Wiley's mother lives wrecking his mother's house and leaving their lives in disarray. Then Jackson's secret drug addiction comes to light and Wiley and Noah are devastated. With so many stones in the road Wiley and Jackson find their dream of becoming a real family falling apart. Though Wiley relies on humor to cope he'll need something more to keep his happily ever after from slipping away.
