Charlie Harper es un soltero con dinero que tiene una casa en la playa y gran éxito con las mujeres. Pero su informal estilo de vida en Malibú se ve bruscamente interrumpido cuando su hermano Alan, muy deprimido por su divorcio, y su hijo Jake, llegan para quedarse a vivir con él. La situación se complica aún más gracias a Evelyn, la egocéntrica y controladora madre de Charlie y Alan.
