Synopsis:
Tucker
Pierce (Eli Marienthal, "Unlikely Angel") is one 14-year-old who
puts the "diss" in dysfunction when he and his newly divorced
mother Katie (Noelle Beck, Central Park West) start their
new life at the worst possible time and place in this edgy, single-camera
comedy.
Already wracked by teen desires and insecurities, Tucker and his
cash-poor mom reluctantly move in with her harpyish older sister
Claire (Katey Sagal, Married...with Children), a prim perfectionist
whose oversized and loutish 15-year-old son Leon (Nathan Lawrence,
"A Different Kind of Christmas") harasses his grossed-out cousin
Tucker.
The
only ray of hope for Tucker beams from next door where the lissome
McKenna (Alison Lohman, Safe Harbor) resides, a savvy classmate
who alternatingly taunts, teases and inspires him.
Also
starring is Casey Sander (Grace Under Fire) as easygoing
Uncle Jimmy.
