What Season 8 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Season 8 of Always Sunny in Philadelphia opens at Paddy's Pub, an Irish bar in South Philly that barely makes ends meet. Charlie, Mac and Dennis own the place, and Dee works the bar with them. Each of them chases their own benefit, whether it's money, a fling or getting their way, and the common good matters little to them. Frank gets into the business with a plan to undercut striking garbage collectors and win the city's trash pickup contract. Meanwhile, Dennis and Dee's sick grandfather forces the gang to decide what to do with him, and the hunt for war booty complicates everything. Jealousy over a wealthy family rounds out a scheme that spirals out of control.
