Wayne Malloy, patriarch to a family of Irish Travellers in rural Louisiana, takes his wife Dahlia and their kids on the run after stealing money from the extended family bank. Seduced by the idea of a bigger life for themselves, and armed with the keys to a dead man's new house in a posh suburban development, they assume the identity of a "normal family"... setting in motion their plan to steal the American Dream.

To pay for their new lavish lifestyle, Wayne steps into Doug's shoes to try and charm the tweedy partners of a high-end law firm. A nosy neighbor has the family RV towed, and Dahlia, Dehliah and Sam conspire to get it back. Meanwhile, someone's calling Doug's cell phone at all hours, and back at the camp, Dale is hot to pick up Wayne and Dahlia's trail.

Wayne begins work at his new job at the law firm, where his first assignment is to fire the current head of the department. Meanwhile, Dahlia insists on registering the kids at a rich private school despite the fact that there are currently no openings. Finally, Dale uses his influence over Tammy, Cael's girlfriend, to track down the Malloys.

The real Doug Rich's ex-wife jeopardizes the Malloys' cover when she comes after "Doug" for missed alimony payments. Meanwhile, Di Di falls for a buffer, and Cael finds a way to capitalize on his unusual skills at school. Also, Dahlia's pill addiction continues to worsen and now threatens to tear the family apart.

Discovering the demands of his new job, Wayne has to clean up after one of Hugh's shady land-grabs, while a bored Dahlia figures out ways to amuse herself in Eden Falls. Meanwhile, Ginny moves in on the unsuspecting Malloys.

The Malloys must deal with Ken from the Traveler camp, when he shows up intending to marry Di Di. His presence leads to a family crisis. At Panco, Hugh wants Dahlia to be his personal assistant. He won't let Wayne settle for Hartley Underwood, who's suing the company. Meanwhile, Dale makes his move back at camp.

Stunned with the news of Earl's passing, a grieving Dahlia and her family head back to camp. While Dale looks to settle old scores with Wayne, Ginny uses the funeral as an opportunity to tie the knot between Di Di and Ken.

Hugh discovers the missing money from the safe and suspects everybody, Wayne included. So Wayne, thinking fast to explain his whereabouts on the night of the crime, comes up with a story about a mystery Panco investor. Now all the Malloys have to do is find one. Enter libidinous ex-ballplayer Rudy Blue.

The family finds itself in awkward situations when Wayne is offered a partnership at Panco only if he throws a dinner party that meets Hugh's approval. Meanwhile, a former cellmate of Dahlia's on the search for a job wants to be the family's maid.

Wayne suspects that Dahlia still has a drug addiction and takes meth himself as a way of showing her how much the fact that she is on drugs hurts. Meanwhile, when things at Panco go crazy, it is up to Dahlia to keep everything and everyone together. Finally, Dale shows up at Edenfalls and befriends the family's neighbor, Hartley.

When Hugh goes missing, it is up to Wayne to take over at Panco and discover what it's really like to be the boss. Meanwhile, Dahlia tries to bond with Di Di, only to discover that their relationship has only taken more steps in the wrong direction. Finally, Dale confesses his intentions to Hartley.

When Doug's friend Pete visits, the Malloys must keep him in the dark about what they have done. Meanwhile, Hugh returns from Las Vegas with a new wife and orders Wayne to negotiate a retroactive prenup. And Hartley warms up to Dale and shows him how to blend in with the buffers.

The Malloys find themselves in difficult situations as more visitors continue to arrive, neighbors pry and Dale aims for a piece of the action. The family finds itself making some difficult decisions.
