Synopsis: Mummie and Daddie have 3 children - Ian, Robin, and Trevor. They live in a modest home in a northeast suburb where usually not much changes. But it's not perfect. It is Christmas Weekend, and Ian, the eldest child, comes home from college. Ian tries to be the ideal son, but he's not. Robin and Trevor want out from Ian's shadow, and push against Mummie and Daddie's traditional, Caribbean ways. Mummie and Daddie's love life is far from great.
