We all know that family gatherings can be a source of drama, but this one takes the cake! A young man, Ron, lost his long-term girlfriend, Linda, in a tragic accident earlier this year. Linda was adored by the entire family, and her sudden passing left them all devastated, especially Ron’s autistic nephew, Drew. Now, just months after Linda’s death, Ron has a new girlfriend, Gia, and he’s decided to bring her to Drew’s upcoming birthday party. But the family isn’t having it, and Ron’s brother has some strong words for him.
