Your average dysfunctional family with more than its share of secrets- Picture-perfect on the surface, the Braithwaite family has some serious issues. Plus, Mum's a new millionaire. On her 40th birthday, Alison Braithwaite gets the surprise of her life when she wins $38 million in the first Euro Lottery. She decides to keep the news of her win from her g-british, g-family as not to encourage the baser instincts of her three squabbling daughters and banker husbands. But he's not the only one living a double life. As her family lurches from one crisis to another. Alison tries to use her windfall responsibly, resisting the pressure to let her family in on her secret. Eventually, though, all the Braithwaite secrets come tumbling out in one big pile of dirty linen. A smash hit in the U.K., this cutting-edge british comedy stars acclaimed actress Amanda Redman (Sexy Beast) with Peter Davison (Campion, Doctor Who), Lynda Bellingham (My Uncle Silas), and Sylvia Syms (The Jury).
