Synopsis

When a family of hungry raccoons invade the bliss of Dr. Jeffery Lang's fantastic new backyard, he becomes obsessed with eradicating the pests by any means necessary. But his wife, Nealy, would prefer him to re-landscape their yard, to make it inhospitable to raccoons, rather than continuing to battle with a relentless foe. Unfortunately for Dr. Lang, he does not listen to his wife, and his tête-à-tête with the raccoons soon leads way to a tête-à-tête with a very meddlesome neighbor, and before he knows it, Dr. Lang finds himself buried in an absurd mess of infidelity, organ donation and other assorted mayhem.
