Storyline
When a bratty SHANNON visits home to celebrate her mom BETTY’S birthday, her brother-in-law JACK discovers that her elaborate stories of wealth and success have all been lies and she has actually lost everything. With the family diner on the line, will the truth about her poor situation come out before she manipulates her family into giving her complete ownership of their business?
