A single mom takes a vacation to Australia leaving her five kids behind--with a vicious elderly babysitter who is ready to make their lives miserable. But she suddenly passes away on the first night. Now the kids figure they can have the summer of their dreams, only they have no money for the basics like movies, dates, and pizza. The eldest, 17-year-old Sue Ellen, must find a job, but to make it in the adult world she must fake it from the top of her resume' to the trip of her nail polish. If she succeeds, Sue Ellen and the kids will have a great summer they'll never forget.—Anthony Pereyra
