Their children -- unemployed, divorced dad of three Hank and single playwright Eleanor -- are both dealing with personal and professional crises, as is Charlotte's younger sister, Emma , who has been arrested for shoplifting, and grandpa Bucky , who's mourning the thought of his best friend, young diner waitress Ruby , moving out of town.
Bucky is a regular at a local diner, where he has befriended Ruby, a 20ish waitress who is unsettled.
In hanging out at the airport, Eleanor meets Joe, a soldier snowed in and who will probably spend Christmas alone in the airport.
Love the story and the direction and how can you not love this cast.
