Film Synopsis

Your life is only as good as your mother thinks it is.

An interfering, outspoken mother of three grown children believes that despite her best efforts as a mother, her children are living lives that are unacceptable. Each of her children believes that their current lives are a direct result of their dysfunctional childhoods over twenty-five years ago.

When the mother wins a lottery jackpot, she decides to coerce her grown children into better lives by giving them the mother of all ultimatums: They must change their lives to meet her standards to collect a portion of the lottery winnings OR keep living their current lives and get absolutely nothing.

Over the course of the next two months, the family goes through a series of hilarious and heart-breaking events that force them to stare down the demons that have hidden in each of their closets for so many years and to decide, once and for all, whether to live their lives on their own terms or their mothers.
