События сериала происходят в Лос-Анджелесе. Приехав домой, Нейт — сын Натаниэля Фишера, главы семейства — неожиданно узнает о гибели отца. Младший брат Нейта Дэйвид — замкнутый гомосексуалист и управляющий похоронного бюро. Сестра Нейта — бунтующий подросток Клэр — узнает печальную весть, находясь под действием наркотиков, которые она попробовала вместе со своим новым бойфрендом Гейбом. Радость в жизнь Нейта приносит лишь Брэнда, страстная женщина, с которой Нейт познакомился в самолете. Однако члены семьи Брэнды оказываются еще более странными, чем семья Нейта.
