But when they discover they're too broke to split into two families, they turn to crime to finance their breakup, sticking it to the insurance companies, evil employers and banks that screwed them over. One crime leads to a spree, and soon they find a new passion for life as they involve their friends and neighbors, becoming suburban crime lords who happen to be very nice people.
