The premise
Here’s the bit.
Nathan gives his wife Cathy a new Lexus for Christmas without consulting her. Her anger exposes the family’s strained finances, including Nathan’s long unemployment, while their son Matt discovers that the advertised signing payment is only the start of the cost. Neighbor Mike arrives to demand repayment of a loan and reveals more embarrassing details about Nathan’s attempt to impress his family. Cathy orders the car returned, and Matt takes charge of driving.
