Alex thinks Sophie’s a curse, but because she pulls in the most money he doesn’t wanna get rid of her just, yet. Sophie and her best friend Liza have no idea how to get out from under Alex’s thumb, and each time something strange takes place in the house Alex blames one of the girls and holds them responsible and they have to be disciplined.
