New York radio producer Judd Altman discovers his wife Quinn is having an affair with his boss,
shock jock Wade Beaufort, while bringing her a birthday cake he walks in on the two of them having sex. As he prepares to divorce her, Judd learns that his father, Mort, has died -- so he returns to
upstate New York for the funeral, reuniting with his family. Judd's sister Wendy and her children are being neglected by her workaholic husband Barry. Judd's older brother Paul is married to Judd's high school girlfriend Annie, and the two are struggling to conceive. The youngest sibling, Phillip, introduces them to his older therapist-turned-girlfriend Tracy. Their mother, Hilary, explains that Mort wanted them all to
sit shiva, forcing the family together for the next seven days. Staying in his childhood basement, Judd lies to everyone but Wendy about Quinn's absence, but admits the truth to his old classmate Penny Moore. He reconnects with Wendy's ex-boyfriend, Horry Callen, who suffered a brain injury years earlier and lives with his mother, Linda, Hilary's neighbor and closest friend. An argument about Phillip joining Paul in running their father's sporting goods business devolves into a fistfight. Phillip flirts with an ex-girlfriend in front of Tracy, and Wendy drunkenly badgers Judd into blurting out the truth about his wife's affair. Quinn arrives to inform Judd that she is pregnant, and that the child must be his, as Wade is infertile. He visits and spends the night with Penny. Wendy reaches out to Horry, experiencing guilt over the car crash that led to his injury and the end of their relationship. After Phillip reveals Quinn's pregnancy to the family, Hilary brings them to
temple, presided over by their classmate Rabbi Charles "Boner" Grodner. The brothers sneak away to smoke marijuana found in their father's suit jacket. Desperate to have a baby, Annie tries to seduce Judd, and Wendy later confides in him that she is still in love with Horry. Judd's time with Penny is interrupted by a call from Quinn, who fears she is having a miscarriage. He races to the hospital, where Quinn and their baby are fine, but Wade appears, leading to a confrontation in the waiting room. Wendy arrives and punches Wade, while Judd convinces a group of young men to flip Wade's
Jaguar E-Type. Wade admits that he cannot be there for Quinn, and Judd assures her that they will raise their child together, even though their marriage is over. After an honest conversation with Judd, Tracy decides to break up with Phillip. Judd attempts to explain himself to Penny, who refuses to listen. While the house is full of mourners, Judd comforts an apologetic Annie, but Paul assumes he is hitting on her and chases him outside, just as Tracy leaves Phillip. As the brothers fight, Hilary shocks everyone into silence by kissing Linda. They reveal that they fell in love while caring for Mort, who gave them his blessing. Hilary admits that the shiva was her idea, allowing her to
come out to her children while forcing them to reconnect. When the power goes out in the basement, Judd attempts to fix the fuse box and is shocked unconscious. He relives a childhood memory of falling off his bicycle and being comforted by his father, and wakes up in his mother's arms. Inspired by Hilary and Linda, Judd apologizes to Penny, and they agree to reconnect after he has figured things out for himself, sharing a kiss. Wendy departs with her children, tearing up as she waves goodbye to Horry, while the brothers reconcile and Paul offers Phillip a job. Judd slips away, stealing Phillip's Porsche and driving to Maine, where he had always dreamed of going. ==Cast==
