Once a family of comfortable wealth, the Gordon's now find themselves facing a looming financial crisis. The only asset left is the family's Texas estate but matriarch Stella is determined not to divide the 100 year old property. Her three children have other ideas and set out to convince Stella to go with their plan and come into some money. Old resentments and sibling rivalries surface as the members of this quirky, dysfunctional family connive to see who will claim the biggest piece of the pie in Dividing the Estate.

The cast features: Leigh Miller (Son); Rachel Fowler (Lucille); Anne Oberbroeckling (StElla Gordon); Ghandia Johnson (Mildred); Kristen Adele (Cathleen); Russell Costen (Doug); Mark Rubald (Lewis Gordon); Gabra Zackman (Pauline); Sharon Kay White (Mary Jo); Devon James (Emily); Emma Carpenter Martin (Sissie); Michael McNeill (Bob) and Ella Tieze (Irene Ratliff).
