didn't expect is the added expense of having to fix a large
hole in their kitchen floor. Against his better judgement,
Nick invites his tough Italian father (Baccaloni) to come
live with them, hoping he'll repair the floor for free. The
arrangement sparks a clash between their old world and
new world value systems, trapping Emily in the middle.
