Plot
Bob and Cindy Russell and their three children, 15-year-old Tia, 8-year-old Miles, and 6-year-old Maizy, have recently moved from Indianapolis to the Chicago suburbs. Bob's brother Buck lives in a small apartment in Wrigleyville with no responsibilities, spending his time drinking and smoking cigars. Buck's girlfriend of eight years, Chanice, wants to get married and start a family, but Buck is resistant to commit. To appease her, he grudgingly agreed to work at her tire shop.
