To pak vyjde najevo ledacos A právě v takové situaci se ocitne ne tak docela standardní rodina Birchových, když se dcera Olivie, lékařka, vrátí ze zóny zasažené nebezpečným virem. Rodinní příslušníci z toho pochopitelně nadšení nejsou a ona zase těžce nese, že bude muset strávit celých sedm dní s lidmi, kteří mají takové nedůležité a povrchní starosti. Jenže i oni mají svá tajemství, a zdaleka ne tak malicherná, jak se Olivii zprvu zdá. A jako by toho nebylo málo, jedno z těch tajemství nečekaně zazvoní u dveří!
