A brash, high-energy sitcom built on the clash between a crude, unfiltered guardian and spoiled wealthy children, sustained by irreverent humor rather than sentiment.

Mackenzie "Mickey" Murphy is a hard-living, foul-mouthed, cigarette-smoking woman who moves to affluent Greenwich, CT to raise the spoiled kids of her wealthy sister who fled the country to avoid a federal indictment. She quickly learns what the rest of us already know - other people's children are awful.
