The ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family - a man her parents have never met. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday's "normal" boyfriend and his parents.
An interplay of sweet and bitter to reflect the seemingly opposite personalities of the dinner guests coming together in Wednesday's hope of harmony.
