Premise

[edit | edit source]

The series follows a man who's had a streak of bad luck with everything from enlisting in the army to flunking out of seminary three times. When he returns home, he finds himself in the unlikely position of taking over his father's hardware handyman business because his father was recently diagnosed with a heart condition. However, this transition is not as easy as expected as he tries to maintain the success of the business that his father built, especially with his father keeping a watchful eye.
