The night after their grandfather's funeral, three cousins engage in a verbal — and sometimes physical — battle. In one corner is Daphna Feygenbaum, a self-proclaimed "Real Jew," volatile and unbending. In the other is her equally stubborn cousin Liam, a secular and entitled young man with his non-Jewish girlfriend, Melody, in tow. When Liam stakes claim to their grandfather's Chai necklace, a vicious and hilarious brawl over family, faith, and legacy ensues.
