About
Mike Trainor seemingly has it all—he's a good-looking, wealthy and recently retired NFL player living the high-life in New York City, but he's about to get sidelined. When his mom learns that Mike's business manager took off with all his money, she orchestrates a plan to keep Mike in Houston, save his brother Chill's restaurant and bring the dysfunctional family back together under one roof again.
