The Longe siblings are really botching their parents' American Dream. Sola Longe, eldest daughter, estranged from the family, is secretly back home in Chicago for the first time in a decade. She's a newly single and recently disgraced influencer trying to quietly put her life back together again. But Sola's unexpected return sets her on a crash course toward her other three adult siblings, and when the four of them finally find themselves together again at their Nigerian immigrant parents' Thanksgiving table, a decade's worth of secrets and a lifetime of resentments explode to the fore. But Sola is not the only Longe whose life is a total mess. The other three aren't doing much better: Anjola is in love with her best friend, who just got engaged to someone else; Karen, a college junior and the youngest, is grappling with her sexuality and self-image; and Ola, the golden child with his own baby on the way, is questioning his marriage and how to raise a Black son in America. In the wreckage of their fateful reunion, each Longe is forced to reckon with the past, take stock of what really matters, and find a way back to each other.
