Patty and David appear to be living the American dream. But their secret hides behind the manicured yard of their new home. Patty’s hoarding has taken over the entire house and their children were removed by authorities. Now, if the family is to have any hope of ever getting their children back, Patty must overcome her compulsive shopping and hoarding and clean out her entire home. For 25 years Lorelei coped with her partner Bill’s hoarding. But last year she tripped on a pile of his things, fell down the stairs and broke her arm. Bill didn’t seem to care. His clutter has taken over their home, which is filled with junk and nearly uninhabitable. She has given Bill an ultimatum, clean up or move out.
