Living the rich life is almost everyone's dream, especially the shopping and buying anything you want, along as your parents give you the money for it, as well as going to parties or throwing them.  These are the things every child would like to do... well, some people.   For Stella Brooke, her sister, Carol Brooke, and her brother, Steve Brooke, all that is going to be gone in a second.  Their parents gave them everything they wanted as long as they did well in school and got good grades--meaning no C's, only A's and B's.  If they got a C, that meant they  wer grounded.

 Their father, Dave Brooke, decides that he wants to show his children how hard it is to get this perfect life they seem to have.  He doesn't want his children to become spoiled brats.  He only wants them to be tough and know how hard it is in the world today.  That means going back to where he used to live in Dallas, where it was tough grouwing up and where the gangs and everyday life is.
