Bennie Upshaw, the head of a Black working class family in Indianapolis, is a charming, well-intentioned mechanic and lifelong mess just trying his best to step up and care for his family and tolerate his sardonic sister-in-law, all without a blueprint for success.
When Tasha gets into an accident, Bennie comes up with a solution — without telling Regina. Meanwhile, conflicts erupt between other family members.
