1986, 2016: The difficulties of life for one Chicago family
The Most Fun We Ever Had
What you need to know before your trail
At a family wedding, the four Sorenson sisters polka-dot the green lawn in their summer pastels, with varying shades of hair and varying degrees of unease. Their long-infatuated parents watch on with a combination of love and concern.
Sixteen years later, the already messy lives of the sisters are thrown into turmoil by the unexpected reappearance of a teenage boy given up for adoption years earlier – and the rich and varied tapestry of the Sorensons’ past is revealed.

Travel Guide
Travel around Chicago across the years
The story of a family set mostly in the affluent suburbs of Chicago – you get a unique view of the city and those who live in the posh houses!
The city is a backdrop of the comings and goings on one family and their friends…
West Loop
“A transformation — or rather, an explosion — has taken place among the former factories, wholesale markets and warehouses on the edges of downtown. One of Chicago’s fastest growing neighborhoods, the West Loop is a study of contrasts.”
River North
A lively neighborhood in the Near North Side. One of the characters has a condo here amongst the luxe shops, posh nightclubs and cocktail bars. There is a sprawling area of home and office design showrooms, artist’s studios in converted warehouses and art galleries.
