This sophisticated comedy deals with the "emptynester's" greatest
nightmare: the chickens coming home to roost. Affluent, widowed and
wonderfully politically incorrect, Marjorie is enjoying life sitting by her
pool, having imaginary conversations with her late husband, Jack,
when both her grown children come calling. Neither sibling knows the
other has the same plan: to come live with poor old Mom. Family chaos
ensues. Sibling rivalry reaches alarming proportions, and even the water
in the pool turns murky.
