Plot

In the small-town tranquility where the McDermott brothers have spent their lives, there exists a chicken restaurant, a family heirloom they are destined to inherit. Jake McDermott (Jim Haynie), the patriarch, has spent a quarter of a century serving fast food, an occupation he secretly despises. In a sudden, earth-shattering revelation, he confesses his aversion to the chicken business and announces the sale of the family restaurant. This unexpected news sends seismic shocks through the family dynamics, unraveling the brothers' dreams and expectations of continuing the family legacy. The eldest son, feeling betrayed and disoriented, moves out, leaving the family hearth in turmoil. The remaining two brothers, navigating their way through this familial storm, cross paths with the new owner of the land and his intriguing girlfriend. As the bonds of brotherhood are tested, one sibling finds himself employed by the new owner, while the other finds companionship in the company of the girlfriend. Staying Together is a heartwarming yet poignant tale of shattered dreams, shifting loyalties, and the resilience of family ties. The McDermott brothers, no longer the big fish in their small pond, are thrust into an unfamiliar ocean of uncertainty. Will they manage to chart new courses in their lives, reconcile with their disillusioned father, and keep the essence of their familial bond intact? This film promises an engaging exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of a small-town chicken restaurant.
