What Season 1 of Weeds

Nancy Botwin is a recently widowed mother living in Agrestic, a fictional upscale suburb in the Los Angeles area, with her sons Silas, 15 years old, and Shane, 10. To maintain the upper-middle-class lifestyle her husband's salary provided, she starts selling marijuana to her neighbors, mainly to Doug, her accountant. The business requires a legal front, so she soon looks for a way to justify the money. Her brother-in-law Andy arrives from Alaska with a proposal, and Celia's breast cancer adds pressure on the family. Mary-Louise Parker plays a woman determined to keep her family afloat in a neighborhood that only looks perfect on the surface.
