The Goldman and Weingold families, best friends and business partners, have run the Golden Hotel in the Catskills for more than sixty years. The resort is a shadow of its Borscht Belt heyday, and a tempting buyout offer pulls all three generations back together to decide whether to sell. As the families reunite, long-buried secrets surface: a doctor son-in-law running a pill mill, a grandson who has not come out to his parents, and an engagement threatened by snobbery. From the put-together diva grandmother Louise to the avocado-toast influencer granddaughter, nearly everyone is hiding something, and the fate of the faded hotel hangs on whether the two families can agree.
