|---|
"Longsuffering and ever-optimistic Bronwyn Peters tries to steer her little family from unknown, bohemian, broken-down VW-bus driving, NPR-listening San Fernando Valley-dwellers to sought-after, screenplay-selling, trendy Angelenos, while coming to terms with the lure of materialism and the ugly clash of the classes when the LA Riots ruin one of their parties and force them to re-examine their consumerist goals. "
