For 35 years, the people of Haven, Wisconsin, have dined on the Fine Chao restaurant's delicious Americanized Chinese food. Whether or not Big Leo Chao is honest, or his wife, Winnie, is happy, doesn't really matter — their food tastes good and their three sons earned scholarships to good colleges. But when the brothers reunite in Haven, the Chao family's secrets and simmering resentments erupt at last.
