The hysterical plot tells the story of the three surviving Holloway brothers, who are facing a dilemma! Their string of casual eateries are losing money and in order to save the family business, oldest brother Sam wants to sell the only remaining joint property, a valuable waterfront house in Rockaway Beach, NY. The problem is, everyone in the family seems to have something to say about it. From brother Rollie, who wants to pay off loan sharks, to sister-in-law Martha, who needs money for an upcoming divorce, this funny family dilemma will have you laughing as the story unfolds. Of course, what family drama wouldn’t be complete without a deceased brother who is haunting the place on top of it all?
