During one fateful weekend, the family of brilliant astrophysicist Albert James has a complete meltdown, setting in motion a raucous and hilarious series of events that mirror his radical theories of the behavior of the universe. Inspired by Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, John Hughes, and Wes Anderson, this story is one part coming-of-age and another part midlife crisis, as the adventures of this dysfunctional family take you to places that are equally funny, gut-wrenching, and true-to-life.
