Deux sont des artistes débutants, très différents mais soudés, tandis que le troisième est un homme d'affaire prêt à tout pour obtenir la position qu'il croit lui revenir de droit. Alors que la famille est sur le point de se déchirer, Cookie, la matriarche, en prison depuis 20 ans, retourne parmi les siens et sème encore un peu plus le touble. Elle a des comptes à régler et une vengeance à assouvir...
