Melody, Jack, Bea y Leo son los cuatro hermanos de la familia Plumb de Nueva York. Desde hace años sabían que les toca-ría una herencia el día que Melody, la más joven, cumpliera los cuarenta. Pero cuando Leo, el carismático y seductor hermano mayor, da al traste con sus previsiones, la esperanza de un futuro sin sobresaltos económicos se esfuma para siempre. Melody soñaba con liquidar la hipoteca y con una educación universitaria de élite para sus hijas gemelas; Jack, con pagar las deudas que ha generado su negocio de antigüedades sin tener que confesar a su marido que ha hipotecado la casa de la playa; y Beatrice, bueno, Beatrice solo desea encontrar la inspiración para escribir su gran novela, un proyecto que arrastra desde que fue considerada una joven promesa de las letras.¿Será Leo capaz de salvar a su familia? ¿O todos tendrán que renunciar a sus sueños por su culpa?
Every family has its problems. But even among the most troubled, the Plumb family stands out as spectacularly dysfunctional. Years of simmering tensions finally reach a breaking point on an unseasonably cold afternoon in New York City as Melody, Beatrice, and Jack Plumb gather to confront their charismatic and reckless older brother, Leo, freshly released from rehab. Months earlier, an inebriated Leo got behind the wheel of a car with a nineteen-year-old waitress as his passenger. The ensuing accident has endangered the Plumbs joint trust fund, "The Nest" which they are months away from finally receiving. Meant by their deceased father to be a modest mid-life supplement, the Plumb siblings have watched The Nest's value soar along with the stock market and have been counting on the money to solve a number of self-inflicted problems.
