When Sammy's birthday party location suddenly falls through, the family rushes to set up the celebration in the backyard and is surprised by an unexpected guest. Also, Javier and Elizabeth decide to look for their own apartment.
Jackie, a single suburban mother to Sammy, is shocked when her estranged sister, Elizabeth; her sister's outrageously wealthy, big-hearted, Latin husband, Javier; and Javier's fiercely loyal assistant / driver / friend, Luis, land on her doorstep in need of a place to live after Javier's father cuts them off. Though class differences may separate the women, and the size of the house and the number of people living in it will test the limits of hospitality, the bond of extended family might be exactly what they need.
