When Dave Johnson and his family arrive from Michigan, they're unfazed that their new dream home is located in a community quite different from their previous small town. However, their opinionated next-door neighbor Calvin Butler is wary of the newcomers, certain that they'll disrupt the culture on the block. Dave realizes that fitting in with the new community is more complex than he had expected, but if he can find a way to connect with Calvin, there's an excellent chance of making the new neighborhood a great place to live.

Dave's estranged father, Lamar, arrives in town eager to reconnect; his son finally learns the truth about his disappearance 30 years prior; Marty struggles to fire an underperforming employee.

When Calvin decides to film a local TV commercial for his business, he enlists Dave, Tina and Marty to help; Malcolm considers making a grand gesture when his girlfriend, Sofia, is offered her dream job abroad.

While Calvin is recovering at home, he begins spying on his neighbors from the window; Calvin comes to believe that something sketchy is going on across the street, so the whole crew helps him figure out how to catch their new neighbor in the act.

Calvin is adjusting to getting older and the new stages of parenting; Malcolm questions his career path; Lamar shows up to spend more time with Grover, which forces Gemma and Dave to loosen the reins a bit.
