*SYNOPSIS*
Joshua “Josh” Garner is determined to get therapy for his mother, “Auntie Nay Nay” Robinson, to help her heal from past emotional trauma so, in his opinion, she will stop having an “angry, bitter, victim” mentality.
Josh knows that his mother will refuse to go to therapy … sooooo, he lures her to therapy by taking her to breakfast first and then says he’s going to briefly “drop by” the ”How Can I Be A Father When I’m Not Finished Being A Son?” young men’s mentoring and fellowship event … just to quickly “show his face.”
Unfortunately, upon arrival, Josh discovers that the event is hosted by “Miss Rita Joy” (the best therapist in town), “Miss Carrie” Callaway (celebrity relationship expert and his Uncle Deke’s ex-mistress) and a SURPRISE guest speaker!
WHAT TRIGGERS “Auntie Nay Nay” so that she has a “psychotic terror” attack and refuses to leave the young men’s mentoring and fellowship event?
