A light sitcom built on the comedic awkwardness of a son navigating his mother's romantic life, with warmth and playfulness offsetting the premise's potential for discomfort.

Budding Portland restaurateur Nate's world is turned upside-down when he returns home from a business trip to find his lothario best friend and roommate, Jimmy, dating his recently separated mother, Lydia. To make matters worse, Nate's previously disinterested dad, Harrison is now determined to win Lydia back.
