Premise

George, the owner of a moving company that went bankrupt is forced to move into his daughter Mayan’s house. The problem is that Mayan and George have just started speaking after being estranged for most of her teenage years. Now they seek to heal their relationship and learn more about each other. With this, Mayan, along with her boyfriend, Quinten, and their son, Chance, are trying to adjust to their new living arrangements with George. In addition, they are also having to adapt to Mayan's mom and George's ex-wife, Rosie, dropping by unannounced, usually to either see Mayan, or to throw shade at George.
