Synopsis: Dewey Frye is dead and his wife Dorothy is left behind to
pick up the pieces and hold her family together. Her daughters are at each
other’s throats, Ozella Meeks from the SonShine committee is trying to take
over the funeral, and Dewey’s brother is trying to take away her house.
Funerals bring out the worst, the best, and the funniest in people, and the
Frye family is no exception. A big-hearted comedy about family- Southern Style.
