WHAT BRINGS FAMILY TOGETHER CAN ALSO PULL IT APART
JJ, Spenser, Charlie and Philip, the four adult sons of retired Senator John Bright, dutifully head with their partners to the lake house for their annual family reunion. The Brights are the picture of perfectness, a family of outsize prideβfun, attractive, competitive and a bit terribleβ¦
