Sonja, Wanda, and Michelle are three grown sisters. Sonja works for charity, Wanda is an artist, and Michelle is a writer. Their family owns a large hotel on the beach in Portugal. Their relationship is somewhat uncomfortable and prone to sniping, and that's before a couple of big secrets are revealed--but there's a bigger immediate problem. Their only brother, Nino, is getting married. That's a surprise, because Nino is gay. It's also an unpleasant shock, because, by the terms of their father's will, if their brother gets married before his upcoming birthday, he inherits the hotel. And the birthday deadline is in two weeks.
