When a blizzard snows the Tobin family in, Beef struggles to avoid cabin fever by running the household like the Royal British Navy. But after a box of special candy is found half-eaten, Judy, Wolf, Moon, Ham, Honeybee, Jerry, and Mr. Golovkin turn on Beef, and everyone gets at each other's throats, threatening the sanity of the household.
Follow the Alaskan adventures of the Tobin family as single dad Beef does his best to keep his weird bunch of kids close, especially as the artistic dreams of his only daughter Judy lead her away from the family fishing boat and into the glamorous world of the local mall.
