Elizabeth “Bee” Stanis, typical suburban stepmom, is fighting a war, with lice. In her step-daughters’ hair. She considers hosing her husband’s children down, but is afraid the neighbors, and her husband, might balk.

Soon her next door neighbor is poisoned to death, and his teenage son, Jesse, is dragged away in cuffs. Determined to help set Jesse free, Bee, her immigrant husband, and a host of misfit cops, body-builders, and botoxed moms take on the case. Bee and her wanna-be sleuth husband find themselves amidst car chases, break-ins, stalkings, bricks being thrown, teenage drop-outs, punks and an illicit suburban drug ring. During all of which, Bee still has to get dinner on the table and deal with those dang lice. Set in steamy suburban Florida, this funny, fast-paced, irreverent look at “family life” and true culture-clash redefines what is happening with our neighbors and in our neighborhoods: suburbia ain’t what it used to be.
