Just days before Christmas, 1983, the Oliverio family readies their Feast of the Seven Fishes, an Italian tradition stretching back to the old country. Amidst the festivities, Tony Oliverio, a young man with big dreams and an even bigger heart, is yearning to find love. When he meets the gorgeous Ivy Leaguer Beth, romance blossoms and it looks like Tony's holiday might take a turn for the better! But their budding romance faces some serious obstacles, including his Great Grandma Nonnie who thinks Beth isn't good enough for him, Tony's determined and dramatic ex-girlfriend, and Beth's ex-suitor, who is out to steal back her heart.
