If Beverly Littlestone knew what was good for her, she would steer clear of her sister Naomi, who's just got in touch after a five-year silence.

Not to mention her daughter Natalie, for whom PMT means Permanent Menstrual Tension.
But Beverly can't say no to her sister - and Naomi's self-serving plans are going to launch Beverly out of suburbia and into a whole new world of drama and desire.
