SYNOPSIS:
Pablo, a high-powered lawyer, and doctoral candidate Tania, his very pregnant wife, are realizing the American dream when they purchase a house next door to community stalwarts Virginia and Frank. But a disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, privilege, and entitlement. The hilarious results guarantee no one comes out smelling like a rose. Gardens and cultures clash – turning friendly neighbors into feuding enemies in this hilarious comedy.
CHARACTER DETAILS:
