In a glamorous all-female dysfunctional family Charlie Churchill is the odd one out. She's the ugly duckling, the only one who looks like her Dad, and still a virgin at thirty. She's also the only one who has a job - as a low-paid care worker in a retirement home.
When she inherits over 1,000,000 from a deceased resident, her family want to spend, spend, spend. Mum wants a face lift, sister Georgie wants a flash car, 12 year old Rosie wants breast implants. All three want new expensive wardrobes and luxurious holidays abroad. When Charlie tells them she will use the legacy to buy the badly managed retirement home and turn it into a haven they're furious. And within the retirement home the hostile female manager is equally furious.
