A 35-year-old man finds himself in the middle of a family feud after refusing to evict his nephew to make room for his sister's family. The nephew, a 20-year-old college student, has been living in the man's mother-in-law suite since April. When the man's sister and her family face financial difficulties, she asks to move into the suite, leading to a heated confrontation. The family is now divided, with some siding with the sister and others supporting the man's decision to protect his nephew's living situation.
