Aunt Zelda Eckstazee, matriarch of the family, has gathered her down-on-their-luck nieces and nephews back under her wing. In an attempt to turn these lemons into lemonade, she has decided to turn their old family summer compound into the Eckstazee Lo-Cost Resort. When “beloved Auntie Z” is found dead, apparently from a lethal bubble bath the question arises: who could have done the old broad in? Could it be one of her nieces - the ex-news reporter mentally broken by fashion terrorists, the wannabe Broadway star trapped in endless chorus parts, or the eccentric fortune-teller who might have seen murder in the stars? Was it one of her nephews - the whacked-out, washed-up t.v. show wrestler or the freaked-out hippie literally trapped in his parents’ past? Or maybe it’s “Uncle Rickie”, Zelda’s swaggering, private “weasel/attorney” who has been with the family for decades. Who has made this... A Vacation to Die For!

Everyone 'made guy' is invited to -- the Manicotti/Gelatto Wedding and you're guaranteed to die of laughter. Will this union bring peace in 'da family?' Does the bride's father, Tony 'the Hair' Gelatto, really approve of the marriage of his daughter, Gina? What secrets might Gina try to keep? Will groom, Rico's, efforts to hide his true profession come back to bite him? Mama Mia is sure vocal about her feelings, but might she also be driven to murder? Nicco, the best man, can't be as innocent as he'd have us believe, can he? Marissa the Mouth has certainly played the field lately. Perhaps she's desperate for more than love? Perhaps one of the other 'family members' will get Whacked at da Wedding!
