Huff is the recipient of two unlikely visits, as his estranged father attempts to use him as a go-between to settle his affairs with his mother Izzy and Doris, a patient's mother, shows up in his office seeking answers she thinks only Huff can provide. Russell is pinned in his own corner when he is enlisted to track down his high-powered TV star client and convince him to sober up and get back to work.
Huff is a very successful psychiatrist who is thrown into turmoil after a 15 year old patient commits sleeping in his office. Now Dr. Huff has to work in his home now that his office is part of a investigation. It's not as easy as it seems, his family lives in his house! Which means there will be a long way before he adjusts to have to work in his house.
Huff feels guilty because he felt he could save the 15 year old but he couldn't, but he still has a friend to cheer him up with his comicness. Huff's family consists of his son Byrd, brother Teddy, his antagonistic mother Izzy, who is critical and nosy, but means well, and his strong-willed wife Beth. This is the story of a psychiatrist who has spent his entire life helping others find peace and clarity while his own state of mind is in constant question.
