  But when Jack falls ill, his estranged family are called home and given seven days to find a way to bury their resentments and come together.

  With war now declared, each member of the family is reluctantly forced to accept their new stepmother and confront their own shortcomings. But can the habits of a lifetime be changed in one week?
