Businesswoman Nita McKinnon is anxious to tear down a row of old houses to make way for a property development but Stan, the last householder , an old man who lives in virtual squalor with his gay son Dennis and their dogs, will not sell and Nita resorts to getting her drink-loving sister Beth and her brood to harass him. He drops down dead and Nita bribes everyone to say nothing for Stan was her father. At the funeral Phyl, the sister who went to work in London, turns up and clearly has a history with Nita's husband Nash. Alice, the shy youngest sister who has not seen her father in years brings along Bryce, a young therapist she met by chance.

It's Nita's birthday but she is concerned that her husband and Phyl may be resuming old business as well as saving Beth's job, when Beth, who works with Alice in catering for Nita, insults a workman. At the will reading the house is left to Dennis and all property to Evie, Stan's wife, who left years ago. Alice is charged with finding her but Phyl, who seems to know where she is, is not keen to tell her. Nita offers to buy the house from Dennis and Alice is pleased with her first therapy session.

Nita has to prepare a banquet in order to gain an important catering contract and asks all the sisters, Phyl included, to help her. Dennis however still keeps her hanging on as regards the house sale. Beth considers leaving Manchester to move to London with Phyl, but, after Phyl has spoken to her, she has a heart-to-heart with her husband Kaz, who is blind. Beth admitted that she blinded him by accident years earlier in their courting days during a ruck with Liverpool football fans and married him out of duty. He tells her that he knew. Alice wakes from hypnosis during a session to find Bryce too close for comfort and Nita is sure she has seen Stan alive.

Nita's 'challenge' banquet comes to grief when Beth gets into a ruck with one of the guests and the managing director ends up with his dinner down him. Dennis plays Phyl against Nita by saying he has an outside buyer and invites them over to the house where there is a digger in the garden and somebody plainly watching the sisters. Alice realises that Bryce is molesting her whilst she is in a trance.

Stan is alive and has video evidence of the attack that caused his 'death' but when Dennis, who is agorophobic, tells his sisters, Stan locks him out of the house. Nita, afraid that Nash is sleeping with Phyl, goes on an eating binge but the upshot is that she and Nash have good sex for the first time in years. Although Alice sacks Bryce as a charlatan he tells her that her subconscious reveals that she was once party to a violent crime. Phyl tells her that her mother Evie, having left Stan, returned and, in an argument over ownership of the house, fell and cracked her skull.Stan buried her in the cellar. Alice obviously saw it but had blanked it out until now and later has a nightmare about her mother.

Stan gets his own back on Nita by 'haunting' her. She goes to see Bryce, who is about to assault her sexually whilst she is in a trance but Alice stops him and has him arrested. After Kaz and Beth have had another good chat and decided to stay with each other, all the family is summoned to the house where they meet Evie, very much alive and back from living abroad. Stan is shocked to think his daughters believe him capable of murder and admits everything was a ploy to re-unite them. They celebrate his birthday but he is terminally ill and some months later they attend his real funeral. Nita has won her contract and is pregnant by Nash - as is Phyl,though she introduces her female partner to the family. Beth agrees to drink less and Nash buys the house from Dennis, who will be running a home for dogs, along with Alice.
