Shot reality style, the comedy follows the misadventures of Newport's first family, The Bellacourts, a family with nothing to offer the world, but who have so much money that it doesn't matter. The show centers around the oldest Bellacourt sisters, Lillian (Leggero) and Beatrice (Lindholme), who care only about how they look, what parties they are invited to and becoming famous, which is a lot harder in 1902.
