It''s true what they say, it''s not we who control the money, it''s the money that controls us.
A close-knit family is delivered from near-destitution to sudden wealth after a miraculous change in fortune. But family dynamics begin to shift when the narrator moves with his sister, his parents, and his uncle from a cramped shack to a huge home and encounters new-found wealth. As the dream of middle-class, aspirational living comes true, allegiances and desires realign; marriages are arranged and begin to falter; and conflict brews ominously in the background.
