How will the brothers feel when they find out about the secret that their parents kept from them all those years? The brothers are outraged and want answers now! Unfortunately, Rick isn't helping and is beginning to seem like their number one suspect. In the midst of everything going on, they each meet three beautiful young ladies who turn their worlds upside down, while helping them at the same time during their time of mourning over their parents.
