A fast-paced tale of greed--"Push Comes to Shove "examines the
pitfalls and struggles that an honest family faces to survive the
perils of financial woes.
The bills are due again for Greg "GP" Patterson, but this time,
they won't get paid. He and his wife are facing robbery charges
when a simple assault they committed goes bad. After a few days in
jail, the Pattersons lose everything they own and risk losing their
children forever.
Luckily Aunty Jewels bails the Pattersons out, but GP must make
some serious moves if he is to provide decent shelter for his
family again. A visit to Squeeze, a villainous loan shark, leads to
killer interest rates and a murderous default penalty.
Nevertheless, GP accepts the terms.
When GP gives Jewels the loan money to flip in a high-stakes credit
card scheme, she gets robbed for every single dime. Now GP has to
figure out how to pay his debt and gain the respect of his family
again, but in the meantime, Jewels has already figured out how to
make everybody pay.
An entertaining, multicultural drama, "Push Comes to Shove "is a
cautionary tale for today's economically fraught times.
