But life has its problems. Megan, her five year-old grand-daughter, has not stopped screeching since she was ejected from her mothers womb. Marty, her bi-polar coroner daughter, performs autopsies on her food while shes eating it, and suffers agonizing withdrawals when she hasnt dissected a human in over four hours. Lola Mazola, her time-dated but loyal best friend, supports her madness. Edward, Rockys accountant husband, doesnt quite know how to cope. He escapes into the predictable world of television re-runs.
