A lighthearted comedy about a newly wealthy basketball player trying to stay grounded by throwing a backyard barbecue that spirals into chaos with clashing social groups.

When Todd Anderson signs a $30 million deal with his hometown team, the New Jersey Nets, he knows that his life is set for a big change. To keep things real, he decides to throw a barbeque at his place -- just like the ones his family used to have. But when you have new and old friends, family, agents, and product reps in the same house, things are bound to get crazy.
