Ginneral Upsie, a retired military man, is the richest man in town. He has gained hiswealth by developing upscale properties such as “The Glades of Trillion Dollar Heights”. His wife Lady Upsie enjoys the luxury lifestyle and frequently jets off to Paris and Milan for shopping.
Their sons, Miguel and Diego, are different in their outlook on life. Diego is happy to do nothing but ride around town in his convertible, while Miguel is focused on getting his degree and contributing to the community around their home.
Not far from the Upsie Mansion is a community known as Ribba to De Bank. The
residents there call themselves Downzies, hard-working and upstanding. Gran-Gran,
the community matriarch often reminds them - “We might nuh have money but we
have we pedigree”. Other residents, from the Mayor and Councillor to the man and
woman, are all in agreement.
Things get serious for the Downzies when news comes, that Ginneral Upsie has plans
to sell and develop Ribba to De Bank. So, when Maya, Gran-Gran's grand-daughter
meets Miguel Upsie, she has no interest in encouraging a friendship, what she is more
concerned with is the possibility of losing her community of the Upsies.
When the Downzies find themselves playing host to Ginneral Upsie and sons in a
meeting to find a solution to the Upsie and Downzie difference of what can be done so
that both sides have a fair deal, who will win and who will lose? How will the situation
be resolved? Is it true, as Gran-Gran says, in life, it is sometime coffee, sometimes
tea…and who will get what they believe to be theirs? One thing both sides discover,
“Life nuh easy fe none a we!”
