"Tyler Perry's House of Payne" is a comedy series about a multi-generational, working-class family who experience all of life's struggles with faith, love and humor. Atlanta firefighter Curtis "Pops" Payne thinks his home is his castle, but he needs a bigger moat around it. His nephew CJ and the kids invade his space for an extended stay, and his penniless son Calvin still visits regularly, mostly for mealtimes and laundry days. Luckily, Curtis has a loving wife who never gives up and keeps him from breaking down.

Curtis wants to build his Sauce Boss brand and Ella needs to get women to register for the church's help center to receive a much-needed grant.

When Curtis throws a fit about all the money he and Ella are spending, he implements drastic cost-cutting measures; things backfire when Ella follows his direction and begins cutting back on the things he enjoys.

Calvin and Miranda enter the world of hysterical parenting when Christian is having problems at school; they find out he is bullying which brings to the forefront their own tempers and issues.

After Glo exchanges harsh words with Curtis she gives him 210lbs of pork that a butcher-friend gave her; Curtis is suspicious of the gesture and begins piecing together an unlikely tale of matricide and cannibalism.
