He don't want your honey, he just want your money.

Synopsis

Joyce, her mother, and two sisters are dependent on welfare checks, like her grandmother before them. Too much of their money is wasted supporting no-good boyfriends. Joyce is determined to break the cycle but her sisters are having none of it and Mama Lottie enjoys her toy boys too much to stop writing checks that won't clear. A family of big personalities means big drama!
