Brett Pierson, a straitlaced sound designer trying to rediscover himself, and his wife Michelle are struggling to rekindle the spark in their relationship, which has puttered out from the stresses of marriage and children. When Brett's friend Alex and Michelle's sister Tina move in with them, the foursome try hard to remain good friends, siblings and spouses to each other while pursuing their personal dreams: Tina is desperate to get her bouncy-castle business off the ground, while Alex is convinced by Brett to give his acting career one last try. Along the way, Tina tries to shake Alex out of his funk by enlisting him to help with her business and vowing to help him get the career of his dreams.
