Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The Tuccis, a close-knit family of country bumpkins, become millionaires overnight. When word gets out, nagging neighbors and acquaintances force them to leave for the big city to start anew—and openly flaunt their newfound wealth. Soon they'll realize they ain't got the faintest idea how today's upper classes actually live.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
