According to Mack Carter, whoever said crime doesn't pay was a moron. But when Mack is sent down for a four year stretch, his wife Lindsay Carter starts to think that maybe the moron had a point and it's time the Carter family gave up the family business of theft, fraud and the odd bit of forgery. This revelation comes as something of a shock to the Carter off-spring who start to wonder if Mum has truly lost it but eldest son, Taylor, who has just graduated as a lawyer, proves for Lindsay exactly what can be achieved with a little honest hard work. Siblings Vin, Kacie and Lianna will not be best pleased when they find out what Lindsay's got lined up for them and exactly how hard this honest life is going to be.
