The night before Cousin Eleanor's wedding, the Huxley clan reunites at their family estate on the outskirts of Boston. William,
the youngest, has been living with his older brother Thomas since the death of their father. Thomas's wife, Ingrid, wants
William out of the house, and is not terribly pleased with her other in-laws who are staying for the wedding: Lucy, an eccentric
anthropologist, and Jasper, a lecherous literature professor.
As the only college dropout in a house filled with hyper-cerebral academics, William feels pressured to prove himself,
whether it's with the hopelessly melodramatic novel he's writing, or with Jenny, the buxom but socially inept girl he's dating.
The culture clash between the sometimes snobbish Huxleys and the all-too-working-class Jenny comes to a head as William
announces his plan to propose to her. But when Jenny inevitably rejects him, he turns his passion against his siblings, rooting
up the dark family secrets and forcing everyone to look at themselves for the first time as who they really are.
