Get
Your Stuff
What
happens when two foster kids from hell wind up being placed in the
beautiful designer home of a successful Beverly Hills gay couple?
Meet twelve-year-old T.J. Hardy and his eight-year-old half brother
Brian, a precocious duo who've been through more foster homes than
Phyllis Diller has cosmetic surgeons. Thanks to a resourceful Child
Services case worker, Gloria Carter, their luck appears to be
changing.
Gloria introduces the boys to dedicated psychotherapist/couples'
counselor, Phil Russell, and his spouse, respected attorney, Eric
Johnston. They're a committed couple who've been on a waiting list
to adopt a newborn.
Definitely not the "newborn" they had in mind, Brian and
T.J. make the move from a flophouse in downtown L.A. to the good
life in the Beverly Hills mansion. The boys' unexpected arrival
wreaks havoc on Phil and Eric's marriage, while Gloria doggedly
assures them, "It's just for one night."
"One night" turns into days, and days into weeks, while
Phil and Eric struggle to redefine their relationship. Adding fuel
to the fire, the boys' mother, Cat (short for "catastrophe
waiting to happen") flies into the mansion like a bat out of
hell and yells, "Get your stuff, we're out of here." Fresh
off the streets and dressed to prove it, Cat is determined to
reclaim her boys, no matter what. Unfortunately, maternal instinct
and genuine love for her children are camouflaged by years and years
of alcohol abuse. Enter therapist Phil Russell to the rescue!
Phil digs in and tries to use his therapeutic skills to heal this
broken family. Eric's inclination is to cut his losses early and
reclaim his comfortable lifestyle. Things go from bad to worse when
T.J. starts drinking, steals Eric's Mercedes, and has a gun in the
car when he's apprehended by the police. "Just one night"
has suddenly turned into ONE BIG NIGHTMARE!
Get Your Stuff is a wonderfully entertaining yet poignant story
about learning to help when it doesn't seem possible, overcoming
prejudice and swallowing pride. "A family in search of a
family."
