Hank Moody (Duchovny) es un afamado novelista de Nueva York que ha perdido la inspiración tras el éxito de su último libro. Mientras lucha por retomar su carrera, Moody decide mudarse a Los Angeles, donde se reencontrará con Karen (Natascha McElhone), su ex novia, que ahora mantiene una nueva relación, y Becca (Madeleine Martin), la hija adolescente de ambos, una jovencita de doce años bastante poco convencional. Junto a la inseparable compañía de su mejor amigo y también agente, Hank Moody iniciará una nueva vida entregado a los placeres del sexo y coqueteando con las drogas y el alcohol, en una espiral un tanto desenfrenada que él pretende hacer compatible con la educación de su hija y los permanentes intentos de reconquistar a Karen.
