When Julie plans a welcome-home party for her younger sister Jackie, who has just completed thirty days in alcohol treatment, everything that can go wrong seems determined to do so. The guests begin canceling, the refreshments are ruined, and Julie's husband Jeff is running out of patience. But beneath the hilarious marital bickering lies a touching story about family, recovery, and the sometimes awkward ways we show our love. Jackie's Party is a bittersweet comedy that finds humor and humanity in an evening that doesn't go quite as planned.
