 Widower Michael Bluth has been working for his father s development company since he was a teenager manning the family s frozen banana stand, and he and his son George Michael have gone so far as to move into one of the company s model homes. So when his father George Sr. throws his retirement party on the family yacht, Michael expects that he will be announced as his father s successor. Instead, Michael gets two surprises: His mother is the new President, and his father is under investigation by the SEC. So Michael has to hold his wildly dysfunctional family together.
