Family—you can’t live without them, but sometimes moving in with them can be scary.
When Grandma Kurnitz’s two teenage grandsons are forced by circumstances to live with her for a year, the clash of generations and battle of wills teaches the whole family important lessons about duty, devotion, trust and love—all without losing their sense of self or sense of humour.
