Frances Price - tart widow, possessive mother, and Upper East Side force of nature - is in dire straits, beset by scandal and impending bankruptcy. Her adult son Malcolm is no help. And then there's the Price's aging cat, Small Frank, who Frances believes houses the spirit of her late husband. Putting penury and pariahdom behind them, the family decides to cut their losses and head for the exit. One ocean voyage later, the curious trio land in their beloved Paris, serving as a backdrop not for love or romance, but self-destruction and economic ruin - to riotous effect.
