Robert Hammond has just died. Beloved father, husband and chairman of a lucrative trucking company, his heart failed him whilst ‘doing the nasty’ with his secretary…
Eldest son Edward had just prepared to take over the business when the funeral delivered a shock. Robert had split his fortune four ways – to all three brothers and his secretary Jennifer.
Edward is a chip-off-the-old-block, gruff and no nonsense. Brian is an accountancy wizard with a domineering wife. David is a “second class honours, first class layabout” arts graduate. And Jennifer has revealed the biggest secret of all – her and Robert’s love child.
How will these unlikely bedfellows pull together to save the business and secure a profit? In this series mother Mary is determined to drive a wedge between the increasingly flirty Edward and Jennifer; strike action threatens the business; and the firm sinks deeper into debt.
