Small-time crime boss LINDA 'KING' LEAR is sick. Her attempt to retire early is a debacle that devolves into a bloody family fight for control of Windsor City. Suddenly forced to retire, LINDA splits up the business among her three children, expecting them to take turns caring for her during chemo. But her two oldest daughters, GONERIL and REGAN, are out for themselves. LINDA disowns her youngest, favorite kid, CORDELIA, who runs off to join the squat of a dashing, rival crime lord named FRANCE. Meanwhile, LINDA'S top lieutenants are both having family troubles of their own. FRANK FORD is sure his wife ALICE is stepping out on him with an off-brand Keith Richards, LINDA'S drinking buddy FALSTAFF. GEORGE PAGE'S daughter ANNE is sneaking around with a scumbag called OSWALD, and his bastard son EDMUND is trying to screw his legitimate brother EDGAR out of his inheritance. The rest is bedlam.
