The saga of the Trudeau family and the trials and tribulations of dealing with each other while trying to run a small hotel. It seemed like a good idea at the time. The family patriarch, George, spent the family fortune and bought the Inn. When the old man passed away, his last will and testament, delivered on video, bequeathed the Inn to his beloved black dog. Now, his three sons and their families, his ex-wife, mistress and various employees must find a way to get along and manage the family business without driving each other completely crazy.

L’auberge du chien noir est une saga familiale aux nombreuses ramifications. Une famille centrale, les Trudeau, possède et gère l’auberge avec l’aide des employés qui sont devenus, au fil des ans, des amis et des associés.

George Trudeau laisse en héritage l'hôtel familial mais aussi un testament sous forme de cassette vidéo qui réserve moult surprises au clan Trudeau.
