Daddy's Little Girls

Monty James is a mechanic who dreams of owning his own shop. He has three daughters: Sierra, Lauryn, and China. The children have been cared for by their elderly maternal grandmother, Kat, with frequent visits from Monty along with financial support. Before her death from lung cancer, Kat asks Monty to take custody of his daughters, since her daughter, their mother and his ex-wife, Jennifer, is both mean spirited and self-serving. Jennifer has no interest in the girls having not visited with the girls for several months prior to her mother’s death. She is preferably more involved in the business activity of her live-in boyfriend, Joe, the main drug dealer in the neighborhood. During Kat's funeral, Jennifer disrupts the cemetery service, upset that no one notified her of her mother’s death. Jennifer tries to physically take the girls from Monty demanding that they leave with her and her boyfriend but her aunt steps in and stops her. She leaves but informs Monty that she intends to seek full custody of the girls.
