What do rich people have to be bitter about? When one has money, nice cars, and a home to die for, what more does one need? The Carruthers are looking to other things to make them happy. Michael Carruthers, a brilliant attorney at his firm, wants his own practice even if it’s at the expense of his already flimsy marriage. Mae Catherine Carruthers, his strong willed mother, is determined to be a mother again through a grandchild that hasn’t even happened yet, even if it means helping her daughter-in-law get pregnant against her own will. And then there is Lela Honey-Carruthers, Michael’s beautiful, but emotionally distant wife, who wants nothing to do with her husband let alone have a child; all Lela wants is out. It is only through their misguided pursuits of happiness that each of will learn life is as sweet as you make it.
