FAMILY REUNION opens as the McKellan family arrives in dad Moz's (Anthony Alabi) hometown of Columbus, Georgia, for a family get-together. Reuniting with Moz's parents, M'Dear (Loretta Devine) and Jeb (Richard Roundtree), is joyful for everyone except sullen teenager Jade (Talia Jackson), who laments the fact that their trip causes her to miss the year's most epic party back in Seattle. As the family visit plays out, though, Moz and his wife, Cocoa (Tia Mowry-Hardrict), notice the new surroundings having a positive effect on Jade, Shaka (Isaiah Russell-Bailey), Mazzi (Cameron J. Wright), and Ami (Jordyn Raya James), so much so that they decide on the spot to pick up roots and move from Seattle to Columbus now that Moz's NFL career is over.
