The series begins in Sun Coast, Florida, where Curtis and Ella Payne come to attend the funeral of Curtis' Uncle Robert. Their trip takes an unexpected turn when Ella and Curtis get roped into a real estate deal, landing them in a new community with a new church and unfamiliar family members. The family land straight back into the issues they find in their everyday lives. As life lessons abound, Ella finds a new business, a new home, and a new purpose.
