Plot
Successful stockbroker Jon Aldrich is living a good life with his wife, Audrey, and their two kids until he encounters his elderly father, Harry, who suffers from dementia, and has accidentally burned down his own house. He tries to get his sister, Arlene (who has two sons but is an irresponsible gold digger), to take care of Harry and his wife, Mildred, but she won't even open the door. Consequently, Harry and Mildred have to move in with him and his family, causing his life to start going downhill.
