synopsis of the sugar bowl feud

Four siblings inherit a house full of stuff. And they all want the same item. What could possibly go wrong?

When Courtney claims a long-forgotten sugar bowl as a memento of her late mother, suddenly the law of siblings kicks in. Twins Brando and Brandi and sister Mona want the bowl too—and they’ll do what it takes to own it or go down in flames trying.

Consumed by loss, grief and pent-up emotion, squabbles erupt as the four slip into childhood roles and reignite birth-order rivalry. Facing numerous issues and tough decisions, Courtney and her siblings are soon caught in an endless round of estate whack-a-mole. With tension mounting around their Mom’s memorial service, they take turns behaving questionably, resulting in a series of surprising, shocking and sometimes hilarious family moments.

Set in small-town Nova Scotia and told with compassion, frankness and humor, The Sugar Bowl Feud explores the overwhelming grip of grief through the eyes of each sibling as they do their best to cope with daily life. But is the family foundation strong enough to survive?
