I really liked the movie, it was great. The movie was about a family with a son named, Travis, a husband named, Walter, a wife named, Ruth, mother named, Lena, and a sister named, Benitha (Benny for short). Walter works as a car driver transporting people from here to there. Walter's sister, Benny wants to go to college to become a doctor.
Ruth stays at home and takes care of things that need to be down. One day Ruth was not feeling well and Walter's mother said, "What's wrong with you?" Ruth said, "I'm fine." Before you know it she faints and Lena goes to check on her. The next day she goes to the doctor to get checked and finds out she is two months pregnant.
Lena has Travis go check the mail to see if she received her check from when her husband passed away. She did get her check and received $10,000. She went out and bought her and her family a new house. Then Walter gets upset because he wanted to invest his entire mother's money into a business for a liquor store that he wanted to open.
