Upon arrival they immediately step through the mirage of wealth and opportunity to find themselves on the outskirts of Las Vegas, packed into Grandpa Jeno's doublewide trailer. As they struggle to assimilate into life in America, the family comes face-to-face with the bonds that hold them together and with the forces that try to push them apart. In the end, we find the Major men back in a world they never truly left behind, while the women of the family continue to cultivate their new lives. Their plight proves the universal truth that the greatest obstacles to achieving personal happiness lie only within ourselves.
