Inventing the Abbotts

When you want it all but can't have it, there's only one way to handle life... invent it.

A nostalgic 1950s romance about class conflict and sibling rivalry, where working-class brothers pursue wealthy sisters with mixed motives and consequences.

In the 1950s, brothers Jacey and Doug Holt, who come from the poorer side of their sleepy Midwestern town, vie for the affections of the wealthy, lovely Abbott sisters. Lady-killer Jacey alternates between Eleanor and Alice, wanting simply to break the hearts of rich young women. But sensitive Doug has a real romance with Pamela, which Jacey and the Abbott patriarch, Lloyd, both frown upon.
