After six months of online flirting, a neurotic pharmaceutical copywriter named Gavin and a printing press employee named Stacey decide to meet -- with their best friends in tow. While Gavin lives in a New York apartment right below his parents, Stacey lives with her widowed mother, Gwen, in a tiny Pennsylvania town. Gwen is unnerved by her daughter's online relationship, as is Stacey's uncle, Brian, who has taken on the role of family protector. Gavin's mother lacks a filter and volume control, and his father unrealistically considers himself the family's voice of reason. As Stacey and Gavin try to make their relationship work, they learn that their family and friends turn out to be the biggest complications.
