After the Jacobson siblings win a life-changing fortune in the lottery, they assume their messy lives will transform into sleek, storybook perfectionβbut they couldnβt be more wrong.
Β
The four Jacobson children were raised to respect the value of a dollar. Their mother reused tea bags and refused to pay retail; their father taught them to budget before he taught them to ride a bike. And yet, now that theyβre adults, their financial lives are in disarray.
Β
The siblings reunite when their newly widowed father puts their Jersey Shore beach house on the market. Packing up childhood memories isnβt easy, especially when thereβs other drama brewing. Matthew is miserable at his corporate law job and wishes he had more time with his son; Lauraβs marriage is imploding in spectacular fashion; Sophieβs art career is stalled while her boyfriendβs is on the rise; and Noahβs total failure to launch has him doing tech repair for pennies.
Β
When Noah sees an ad for a Powerball drawing, he and his sisters go in on tickets while their brother Matthew passes. Β All hell breaks loose when one of the tickets is a winner and three of the four Jacobsons become overnight millionaires. Without their motherβs guidance, and with their father busy playing pickleball in a Florida retirement village, the once close-knit siblings search for comfort in shiny new toys instead of each other.
Β
Itβs not long before the Jacobsons start to realize that theyβll never feel rich unless they can pull their family back together.
