Two young ladies, Nora and Mary, grew up in a sprawling mansion with all of their needs and wants met by hired help. They lived in a beautiful area of Beverly Hills and had become so accustomed to this lifestyle that they forgot their heritage and the importance of family until their father suddenly dies. During his will reading they learn that their family estate was in bankruptcy and their father hadn’t planned for his untimely death. His children were left with no means to support their current lifestyle. Nora and Mary have nothing but a BMW automobile, Jimmy Choo shoes and a couple of Prada purses.
After their father’s estate is sold to pay off his debt, Nora and Mary leave the comforts of Sunset Boulevard and are warmly welcomed into their aunt’s home in East Chavez. Through the support of family and friends they steer clear of long-term financial crisis and adjust to a different life style.
