Rounding out the household is Geoffrey, their ever-observant and witty British butler. Despite the initial culture shock and clashes with his more privileged relatives, Will finds himself embraced by the family, becoming an integral part of their lives and, in turn, changing them for the better. This fish-out-of-water tale delivers laughs, and heartfelt moments, that explore themes of family, identity, and belonging.
