DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, April 2017) Andy Baker (Jon Cryer) is a successful acupuncturist who turned to Eastern Philosophy as a way to cope with his crazy family. While he's close with his mother, his relationship with his father is complicated. Especially since Andy finds himself having to take care of the dad who never really took care of him. A bit of a control freak, Andy believes he can fix anything. Except for maybe his marriage, which has been in trouble ever since he caught his wife with another man. Andy's dad, Leo, the patriarch of the family, is charming, even when he's being surly. An old-school dad, Leo claims to love all his kids. And perhaps he does. He just tells his other kids more than he tells Andy. Leo is having some memory problems, but he's still John Wayne. He just can't always remember where he parked his horse. Andy's mom, Susan, is a tornado of love, running around taking care of everyone. When she's not managing the family business, she's either doting on her kids, or helping her husband deal with his memory loss. She's the glue that holds the family together. Andy's younger brother, Owen, has the perfect life. A successful birthday party magician, Owen only works two days a week. But don't let the cape fool you, after the second party on Saturday, he's usually hooking up with the divorced mom that hired him. Handsome and charming, Owen doesn't have a care in the world... until he discovers he got one of the birthday party moms pregnant. Now Owen has to come to terms with the fact that he's losing his freedom. Andy's younger sister, Charlie (Natalie Morales), is the adopted golden child in the Baker family. As her dad puts it, "That's the beauty of adoption, you can pick out exactly the one you want." In all the ways that Andy and his dad bump heads, Charlie is daddy's little girl. Charlie has succeeded at everything she's ever done. Which is why she is so desperate to hide the fact that her once successful boutique bakery went out of business three months ago. And now, Charlie's starting to lose faith in herself. As the kids and Leo prepare an amazing birthday for Susan, all of their secrets come out. What they discover is, between infidelity, new parenthood, memory loss, and, let's just say, life, they're all losing it. But, if they can come together as a family, maybe-- just maybe-- they can find their way out. |
