Brett and Michelle Pierson are a married couple in their late 30s living in Los Angeles with their young children. Brett is a professional sound recordist for movies; his Michelle loves him, but has great difficulty in finding him sexually attractive. Brett's best friend Alex Pappas is a tubby, balding, talented-but-unsuccessful actor, who's beginning to think that maybe a movie career is not going to happen for him; Michelle's sister Tina is a sexually confident businesswoman who deals in bouncy houses. For financial reasons, Alex and Tina are left without homes and are forced to move in with Brett and Michelle -- hence the title.

The show focuses on two main threads: the Piersons' increasingly desperate attempts to hold their marriage together, and the UnresolvedSexualTension between unglamorous but basically nice Alex and glamorous but confused Tina.
