Hank Pryor, a well-known sports retail entrepreneur, and his wife, Tilly, have been living a comfortable life in New York City. But when Hank is forced out as CEO, he has to downsize and move back to his hometown of River Bend, Virginia.
Hank gets back into business by testing his entrepreneurial skills with a neighborhood yard sale.
When Hank forces Maddie to take a job at an ice cream shop, his daughter cons him into joining her.
Hank is ready to attack the day with his trusty "to do" list which includes things like fixing the toilet with Henry, prepping for the SAT with Maddie and teaching Tilly how to change a tire.

Hank realizes his worst nightmare when his mother-in-law pays a visit for their first Thanksgiving in a new home.
