In the vein of Meet The Parents – A well-intentioned iTunes executive who’s planning to propose to the love of his life, clashes with her legendary rock star father who refuses to go digital with his music, and her sister’s boyfriend, who has become the new favorite future son-in-law, over a weekend that spirals into a comedic rivalry.
An iTunes executive looks to make a good impression on his new fiance's family, but must face issues with his new brother-in-law as well as his boss who wants him to get his new father-in-law to join iTunes.
After becoming the fiancee of the daughter of an old school rock legend, an iTunes employee is offered a promotion if he convinces his father-in-law to go digital over the weekend, but dealing with his future dysfunctional family won't be so easy.
An iTunes employee will have to win over his rockstar father-in-law over a weekend, both to gain his respect and his approval to uploading his music after years of refusal.

After dating GRACIE PRIDE (25) for five years, JOHN DESMORE (30s) finally gathers the courage to propose. He puts the ring in his pocket and takes her to a fancy restaurant, where ABIGAIL PRIDE (20s) and TIMBO (20s), her boyfriend, join them. Before John has the chance to pop the question, Timbo gets up and using the cheesy lyrics of a song from rock star Brad Pride, proposes to Abigail. Trying to not be left behind, John asks Gracie right after in the most rushed and non-romantic way.
At work, John is called to see MR. BANKS (45). When he arrives for the meeting, his mortal enemy, RODNEY GROINER (30s) is also there. They both are offered a position as the head of iTunes based on who has the best sales of the month. John is thrilled. As they leave, Banks asks John to stay and confides the job is his if he gets Brad Pride to finally sell his songs digitally on iTunes. John is uncomfortable, but accepts the idea.
Gracie and John drive to Seattle to meet BRAD PRIDE (50s) and MONA PRIDE (50s) for the 30th anniversary of Brad’s band, The Salesmen.
