The bills are due again for Greg "GP" Patterson...but this time they won't get paid. He and his Latina wife face robbery charges when a simple assault goes bad. Their quarrelsome children are sent away to a group home—the one where GP was abused as a child. After a few days in jail, the Pattersons lose everything.

Aunty Jewels is a hardcore, hustling lesbian who enjoys to administer pain. Once she bails the Pattersons out, GP must make some serious moves if he is to provide decent shelter for his family again. A visit to Squeeze, who is a villainous loan shark, will lead to killer interest rates and a murderous default penalty. When GP gives Jewels the loan money to flip in a high-stakes credit card scheme, she gets robbed for it all. GP has to figure out how to pay his debt and gain the respect of his family again; Jewels has already figured out how to make everybody pay.
