An utterly delightful and surprising family dramathink Moonstruck and My Big Fat Greek Wedding set in New Jerseyabout a boisterous, complicated Italian family determined to help their widowed mother find a new boyfriend.

Lively widow Varina Palladino has lived in the same house in Wyldale, New Jersey, her entire life. The town might be slightly stuck in the 1960s, when small businesses thrived and most residents were Italian, but its population is getting younger and the Palladinos are embracing the change. What Varinas not embracing, much to her ninety-two-year-old mothers dismay, is dating. Running Palladinos Italian Specialties grocery, caring for her mother, and keeping her large, loud Jersey Italian family from killing one another takes up all of Varinas energy anyway.

Sylvia Spini worries about her daughter Varina being left all alone when she dies.

The three men of the familyDante, Tommy, and Paulieare each secretly plotting their own big life changes, which will throw everyone for a loop.

Three generations of Paladinos butt heads and break one anothers hearts as they wrestle with their own Jersey Italian love stories in this hilarious and life-affirming ode to love and family.
