This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.

When Marge opens a franchise sandwich shop, the running of the business proves challenging, especially when a competitor opens another location across the street.

When Bart reads a set of Aramaic symbols, he and Lisa find themselves transported to an alternate universe; a member of Moe's gang wants to leave the life for a girl; the family is visited by former versions of themselves.

Lisa gets a surprise when the assemblywoman she brings in to stop Mr. Burns' fracking operation turns out to be attracted to him.

The Planet Express crew travels to Springfield to stop the Simpson family from destroying the future.
