Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Set on Thanksgiving Day 1983, the comedy-drama film involves NYC student Marty Pascale (Josh Hamilton)'s return to his family's suburban Washington D.C. mansion to introduce his fiancée, Lesly (Tori Spelling), to the family—including his mother (Geneviève Bujold), brother Anthony (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), and twin sister Jacqueline (Parker Posey), who prefers to be known as "Jackie-O", due to her obsession with the former first lady.

As the plot develops, we learn that as children Marty and Jacqueline had an incestuous affair. While Jacqueline believes incest to be a beautiful, loving and completely natural act, Lesly does not share her view. Marty is torn between the taboo pleasure of being with his sister and the comforts of social normalcy. This is the source of great conflict between the characters, since Jacqueline wants to resume her romance with Marty. The film includes a passionate love scene between Jacqueline and Marty, which Lesly happens to witness.
