woman who has fallen in love with a sweet, smart boy from a normal, respectable Ohio family. And
she has invited his family to their home for dinner. In one fateful hilarious night, secrets are disclosed, relationships are tested, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations – change.
