Michelle ‘Mo’ Lawrence’s perfect life is upended when her husband, Chad, unexpectedly takes a new job. Now Mo has to raise their two small children in a place filled with cat-eating coyotes, while navigating relations with her new frenemy, Aishe Herne, who’d pick a fight with a silent order of nuns. Then cousin Patrick lands in town like a Cockney nemesis, and both Aishe and Michelle are forced to decide how they really want their lives to be.
