Synopsis: Sins from the past have left a lingering stench in the Mitchell family. Enduring a tumultuous rollercoaster ride through financial ruin, professional humiliation, personal failure, and marital discord, Joel has finally come to terms with his shortcomings. In an attempt to set his life on the right track, he reaches out to the most unlikely person, his stepmother and long-time nemesis, Madeline, pleading with her to let him back into the family business. Don, the eldest living son, has other plans. He feels he has paid his dues, suffered years of rejection, and played second fiddle to his father's second family long enough. Don's sister Tamara gets wind of her mother's and brother's plans, which she considers a betrayal. She is outraged that they're considering someone other than her for the role of CEO. Writing off Madeline and Don as traitors, Tamara concocts her own way to get the upper hand. Harmony seems impossible for the Mitchell clan, with each step toward truce and reconciliation resulting in two backward steps shrouded in conflict. Will years of conflict and bitterness continue to get in the way, or can the Mitchells finally find a way to forgive, in order to save their family business and the life of a disturbed family member?
