A widowed mother Mrs. Sally Benson has brought up three sons with a lot of care and love. Her eldest son Oliver is very honest and diligent; her two other sons Jeffrey and Jason also live in the same house. Oliver looks after the family, and also looks after the business and the estate. Jeffrey’s interest is fast cars, and to the much disappointment of his family, decides to re-locate the Spain, and gets married to a rich and snobbish girl, Nichole. Her mother strongly disapproves of Jeffrey, and vehemently, though in vain, opposes the marriage. To make matters worse, Jeffrey gets a job in the U.S. in a vehicle junkyard, much to the horror of his wife and his family. Jeffrey must use this junkyard so that he can make the fastest car in the world. Jason is the spoiled brat of the family. He gets into trouble with the law, when he starts hacking computer data. This brings shame on the entire family, and causes a loss of goodwill and profits, and results in the takeover of the estate by Steven Michaels, a close friend of the family. Now all the three brothers, their respective wives, and Sally herself will have to come together to try and salvage what they can of their family business and estate. That is if they find time to do so from their very own personal problems and commitments.
