 On the eve of his retirement, George Bluth Sr. has been arrested and is being held under investigation by the Securities And Exchange Commission. The family s large assets have been frozen, and George Bluth s son Michael is the only member of the family who has realized that the family s problems may be much deeper than some shady bookkeeping deals. But when Michael goes to investigate his dysfunctional family s problems, the rest of the family - his son George Michael, his sister Lindsay and her husband Tobias, his mother Lucille, his brother GOB, his brother Buster, and his niece Maeby, have problems of their own. But the matters get worse when George Bluth is in prison - and he s loving every minute of it.
