Eduardo, Emma's hard-headed former convict and retired lawyer, moves into the house to help the couple manage family life. Frank attempts to keep his father-in-law entertained while also grappling with writer's block. To keep Eduardo occupied, Frank invites Eduardo's friends to stay nearby.

The home fills with elderly residents, and the chaos spurs Frank and Emma to consider monetizing the arrangement.
