Told from the perspective of an unseen documentary filmmaker, the series offers an honest, often-hilarious perspective of family life. Parents Phil and Claire yearn for an honest, open relationship with their three kids. But a daughter who is trying to grow up too fast, another who is too smart for her own good, and a rambunctious young son make it challenging. Claire's dad, Jay, and his Latina wife, Gloria, are raising two sons together, but people sometimes believe Jay to be Gloria's father. Jay's gay son, Mitchell, and his partner, Cameron, have adopted a little Asian girl, completing one big -- straight, gay, multicultural, traditional -- happy family.

Claire's request to build a "She Shed" in the backyard is denied by the homeowners association and only Luke and Phil know the real reason why; Pameron lets Cam in on a family secret, which forces him to visit Mitch's therapist.

After Phil experiences intense stomach pains, Gloria has to rush him to the hospital for an emergency surgery and rallies the entire family to be by his side.

Luke goes missing after a night out; Haley is desperate to land an interview for a popular lifestyle website.

Phil thinks that Gloria is upset at Jay for dropping the ball on Valentine's Day, so he convinces Jay to spice things up with a little role playing; Mitch and Cam must make things right when they unwittingly ruin Luke's Valentine's Day date.
