You think your family is crazy…  What about Mary’s?  Her husband Miguel sees no reason for staying sober; her daughter Rachel is a muppie (Mexican-American yuppie) doctor who can’t be in the same room with her sister Annette, a super-Chicana channeling Frida Kahlo; and son Mike is worried whether coming out of the closet will kill his mother outright.  All Mary wants is for everyone to get along…  so she can join the family of ghosts in the living room.
