Summary of Weeds Season 8 DVD Box Set

Nancy Botwin is a single mother who lives in Agrestic—a fictional suburb of Los Angeles—with her two children Silas (aged 15) and Shane (aged 10). A few weeks before the series' pilot, the untimely death of Judah, who died of a heart attack while jogging with their younger son leads to Nancy selling cannabis in order to support her upper middle class lifestyle. The series follows the ups and downs of Nancy's life as she gets drawn into the criminal system, developing a client base, starting a front to hide her selling, creating her own strain of weed called MILF, and trying to stay out of jail and protect her children. Together with them, her brother-in-law Andy and financial adviser Doug Wilson and others, Nancy gets into all kinds of trouble but mostly seems to pull through in the end.
