In the middle of nowhere, 20 years after an apocalyptic terrorist event that obliterated the face of the world!

该剧由Mark Duplass自编、自演、自己制片、自己导演，他的兄弟Jay Duplass也将参与创作和制片。据称Mark Duplass原本不打算亲自演出，但HBO开出的条件是：你不演我们就不订。该剧描述两对男女住在同一个屋檐下，他们一方面竭力维持彼此的关系（夫妻关系、姐妹关系、朋友关系），另一方面尝试追求各自的梦想。首季为八集。
将近40岁的Brett和Michelle是一对结婚多年的夫妻，过分平静的生活和孩子的存在让他们的夫妻关系变得越来越紧张。他们试图重新点燃新婚时的激情，却遭遇一件尴尬事——Brett的死党Alex和Michelle的姐姐Tina搬进来和他们一起生活……
Tina Morris（Amanda Peet）刚刚从休斯顿来到洛杉矶，住进妹妹Michelle Pierson（Melanie Lynskey）和妹夫Brett Pierson（Mark Duplass）家中。Tina胸无大志，人生没有任何目标，Michelle时常为此感到头疼。同时搬进来的还有Brett的死党、已经过气的演员Alex Pappas（Steve Zissis）……因为他原来的房东将他赶出来了。Brett喜欢健康食物，为人热情，事业非常成功，是典型的「美国梦」的代表：一个可爱的妻子，一份稳定的工作（音响设计师），两个听话的孩子。可事实上Brett有许多不为人知的问题，既有工作上的，也有个人生活中的。他性格古板，但总想在40岁的时候重新来一次「自我发现」。Michelle知道自己已经失去了青春，但她并没有失去对爱情和生活的热情。Tina目前在做「充气城堡」生意，但生意没什么起色，她索性将主要的心思放在「找一个合适的丈夫」上。Alex感觉前途黯淡，本打算离开洛杉矶到外地去谋求发展，但Brett劝说他留下来为事业再尝试一次。
HBO表示，该剧将用深刻的视角来解读「人到中年」所面对的友情、事业、爱情、生活挑战——对处在这个年龄阶段的人来说，有时一件不起眼的日常生活小事也会让他们有「史诗般」（epic）的感觉。
HBO已经确认续订第二季。
