Nola goes back to her parents' home after a disagreement with her boyfriend, Quincy, to find some peace and quiet to sort though her problems. But what she finds instead is a circus of confusion. Her mother, Audrey, is dealing with repairs and redecoration of the house; her father, Lawrence, refuses to help and escapes to work; and an energetic neighbor, Helen, helps watch over Aunt Maggie, Lawrence's somewhat vague sister who recently moved in after possibly poisoning her own cat - and her late husband. Between the hidden money that turns up missing and Quincy's arrival and bout with food (?) poisoning, these lovable characters try to overcome the differences between the sexes and the generations to keep their relationships in tact and Aunt Maggie out of trouble! Lighthearted, hilarious and vastly entertaining.
