I have three big-shot sons

Martha Hargrave is an elderly widow living alone in a small town. Left widowed at a young age, she raised her three sons single-handedly by working at a laundromat. Her eldest son Howard went into politics and became mayor. The second son Victor took a different path and rose to become the leader of a local gang. The youngest son Ethan joined the military and became a special forces soldier. The three brothers each followed their own paths and live in different cities from their mother. They keep in touch only through occasional phone calls and brief visits home during holidays.
