OVERVIEW

Synopsis

Peter Connelly runs his business, and his family, the way he sees fit. Ruling with an iron fist, he ruins his daughters' lives by not allowing them their choice of husbands. Neither does he allow his son, the driving force behind the business, to manage it. The worm turns and the family rebels, but to what end?
