Mike Hamilton, a Philadelphia lawyer, travels to Naples to settle the estate of his long‑estranged “black‑sheep” brother. He soon learns the brother left behind an eight‑year‑old son, now being cared for by Michael’s sister‑in‑law, Lucia Curcio, who works as a nightclub dancer. As Michael navigates the unfamiliar Italian setting, family secrets surface and the situation spins into a lively, unexpected adventure.
