Frank and Maureen Giorgio's (Danny Aiello and Jane Curtin) once orderly lives have been thrown into chaos since the bank that loaned Frank money for a restaurant addition to his lobster business has folded. With the threat of a public auction looming, the very proud and stubborn Frank, his family and friends attempt to save the Brooklyn Lobster shop that is the cornerstone of their identity. Frank's son Michael (Daniel Sauli), who has chosen a much different life for himself in the tech world of Seattle, returns home for Christmas with his girlfriend (Heather Burns) and, for better or worse, is pulled into the family drama that unfolds.
