The story deals with the Irish Catholic couple Sean and Claudia Finnerty living in Staten Island, New York who became parents right out of high school. They had three children, Lily, Jimmy, and Henry. Now 32, they struggle to keep their lives in control. Claudia is a hostess at a swank restaurant, and Sean works in the subway tunnels. Their oldest daughter Lily, 14, devours the majority of the Finnerty's free time. Jimmy, is a bookish to say the least, and stays out of trouble. And the baby of the family, Henry, he is a hyperactive and mischievous, and is usually secondary when it comes to problematic children.

Helping Sean and Claudia deal with the brood is Sean's father, Walt, a crotchety man whose idea of a learning experience is teaching the boys how to dig a hole. If he hadn't been a father, he would have been a drill sergeant. Also helping to lighten the load is Sean's younger brother, Eddie, an unemployed stoner who spends his time hanging out with friends and unknowingly selling beepers to drug dealers.
