  • "In Australia, the Pickleses and the Lambs are thrown together at a time when both families are down on their luck. Sam Pickle's income has dried up because he lost the fingers of one hand. He's inherited a huge old house but can't sell it for twenty years. The large Lamb family, reeling over the accident that left one son retarded, rent half of the house for the twenty years."

For twenty years they roister and rankle, laugh and curse until the roof over their heads becomes a home for their hearts.""
