The household is rife with conflict spurred by the anticipation and finally receipt of Lena's deceased husband's insurance money. Mama wants a new home in a better neighborhood. Walter Lee, schemes to buy a liquor store and become his own man. Beneatha dreams of medical school. The tensions test the trust and love long held among the Younger family.
