In a big-old house downtown, the Vibar family live together but not always in unity. Their family heirloom, a  Home Sweet Home lamp, a symbol of family bond, has been broken and so the love and harmony is in pieces. Clarissa, a scheming niece tries to destroy the old house, but her cousins lazy Eddie, country Pat, industrious Tamara and her children, Skillit and Shelly, fight back with their own Anansi-plan. Poogle Dawg, the stray may have the key to save the home and restore their family bond and bring back the good vibes, if only Shelly can decipher the message. Will the lamp’s magic save the home and light the way for long-lost Aunt Adina to return home, or will Clarissa’s scheming win the day? This is the story of the Vibars of 50 Poinciana Street – where the beat goes on – day and night.
