About
A family of ne'er-do-wells must band together to keep their heads above water when their father and breadwinner passes away, leaving them a mountain of debt. The Engels must all go to work running Dad's storefront law firm, with one minor problem – daughter Jenna Engel is the only one who is qualified to practice law. Unfortunately for Jenna, this also means taking on her eccentric relatives as co-workers, including her self-involved mother Ceil, her pill-popping sister Sandy and her bad boy brother Jimmy. Jenna, the youngest sibling, becomes the unlikely family patriarch, running the law firm and keeping her crazy family together.
