Phil, Sally, and Patrick gather at their family’s summer home on the shores of Squirrel Lake, Wisconsin, to read their recently deceased mother’s will. A cast of characters, including a nun (or is she?) and her insane brother, a psychic, supposedly sent by Mom from the great beyond, and their own out-of control children add madness to mayhem as they try to get everything sorted out. In the end, Squirrel Lake proves that even the unlucky in life can find happiness and contentment if they simply look for the gifts given to them.
