Synopsis:Well-intentioned neighbors become feuding enemies when cultures and gardens clash. Pablo is a rising attorney and Tania is a doctoral candidate. With their first child on the way, they purchase a home next to Frank and Virginia, an established D.C. couple with a prize-worthy English garden. But an impending barbeque for Pablo’s colleagues and a sensitive conflict over a property line quickly spirals into an all-out border dispute!
