Billie Mae has reached her limit. Sick of neighbors ignoring the rules, calling her Billie Goat while bleating, and generally making her life a spectacle, she decides it's time to take action. Armed with a slingshot, paintball gun, and a bear trap, she tries to keep everyone in line. But the real struggle? Keeping ahold of her dentures. Each time they go flying, her life just gets tougher.
Dubbed Charlie's Angels, the three old women of Ravenswood never intend to kickstart a drug trade with aging pickleball players. They also don't plan on setting their vintage shop ablaze, befriending a retired circus monkey, or throwing a coming-out fashion show for a neighbor.
Angelo DiNapoli, an overweight chef without a restaurant, is locked in a never-ending battle with hemorrhoids. Growing up as a butcher's son, he dreams of culinary fame by experimenting with livestock he buys and eventually, well, butchers. Little does he know, his mother will beat him to it.
Dick Gable needs more money. Growing up cheating and scamming, he sees becoming the HOA board president as the ultimate con-a chance to exploit a neighborhood full of gullible homeowners. His greed knows no bounds, and he relishes the thought of manipulating everyone for his own gain. But he doesn't count on working with a menagerie of idiots. His vice president, a narcissist with a passive-aggressive streak, is obsessed with his five Chihuahuas; his secretary has a vindictive personality and a scandalous past; and his treasurer can't count to save her life.
Enter Stella Edwards, a seasoned professional new to property management. Suddenly, Dick's grand plans for unapproved amenities, embezzlement, and illegal shenanigans start to crumble faster than a stale cookie at a bake sale.
This hilarious tale of mismanagement, mishaps, and mayhem proves that in the end, there really is such a thing as karma-and it's got quite a sense of humor.
