Description
Rusty Macken is leaving rural Vancouver Island for the mainland, Hollywood, and the fulfillment of his urban dreams, but first he must endure an epic funeral with his huge, rowdy family. Glory, a glamorous city girl who fell for the wildest Macken of all, has met a tragic end. As everyone waits to see what outrageous form the widower's mourning will take, Rusty's departure becomes anything but easy.
