Everything about the movie is unique movie, especially the cast.  Basically, the movie is a hilarious family comedy that explores today's contemporary family life during Christmas. It tells the story of family members who are forced to come home, as a result of the death of their uncle, for their first Christmas together after several years apart.

As the funeral expenses pile up and in pursuit of social status, each family member is determined to maintain a lifestyle that will compliment how rich they claim to be. There the intrigue and suspense begins. Movie enthusiasts will have the opportunity to uncover the entire story come December 16.

Zedec Entertainment is re-launching Lydia's career in Ghana with this movie.
