The beautiful and savvy widow, Faith Stuart, is getting married again, when her late husband’s brash younger brother, Bobby, shows up for the nuptials from Hong Kong with, in tow, a gorgeous Asian girlfriend and some incredibly prophetic DVDs that his brother had given him just before his death. Bobby thinks he’s in on an elaborate con game from the grave that can manage to change the lives of just about everybody in the family, but it turns out that it is he who's in for the ultimate shock and awe. A post-drawing-room comedy.
