Plot Synopsis

Sarah Braverman is a financially strapped single mother who packs up her Fresno apartment and uproots her two inconvenienced kids, Amber and Drew, to make a big move back home to Berkeley to be closer to her very large, very colorful and very imperfect family. Although the family members have their own share of life to grapple with, perhaps this reunion is the push they need to help each other pick up the pieces and focus on the everyday challenges that families face while raising children and starting over. Meet Sarah's family: Zeek is her larger-than-life, headstrong father and Camille is her pillar-of-strength mother, and her parents are privately dealing with their own marital issues; Julia is her sister and her complete antithesis -- a successful corporate attorney who can't jump off the fast track long enough to be as good a mother to her 5-year-old daughter, Sydney, and wife to her husband, Joel, as she so deeply wants to be; Crosby is her younger brother, a playboy commitment-phobe who must suddenly contend with accepting adult responsibility when his old flame, Jasmine, shows up unexpectedly after five years; Adam is her oldest brother, a family man who learns about what constitutes a "normal" family when he, his wife Kristina, and his teenage daughter Haddie find out that his eccentric young son Max is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome.
