Brief Description:
After the Jacobson siblings win a life-changing fortune in the lottery,
they assume their messy lives will transform into sleek, storybook
perfection–but they couldn’t be more wrong. 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 they’re adults, their financial
lives are in disarray. The siblings reunite when their newly widowed father
puts their Jersey Shore beach house on the market. Packing up childhood
memories isn’t easy, especially when there’s other drama brewing. Matthew
is miserable at his corporate law job and wishes he had more time with his
son; Laura’s marriage is imploding in spectacular fashion; Sophie’s art
career is stalled while her boyfriend’s is on the rise; and Noah’s total
failure to launch has him doing tech repair for pennies. When Noah sees an
ad for a Powerball drawing, he and his sisters go in on tickets while their
brother Matthew passes. All hell breaks loose when one of the tickets is a
winner and three of the four Jacobsons become overnight millionaires.
Without their mother’s 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. It’s not long
before the Jacobsons start to realize that they’ll never feel rich unless
they can pull their family back together.
