Tom Cathcart在消防队工作了25年，退休之后，他希望和爱妻开心地度过退休时光。为此他绞尽脑汁，千方百计把奇懒无比、赖在家里不愿独立生活的20多岁的儿子赶出家门。Cathcart retires from the fire department and wants to live alone with his wife, which means he has to get his two sons, Quinn and Elliot, who are approaching 30, to move. They are unemployed slackers; their mom does everything for them. Cathcart takes her camping while leaving the boys a house without food, money, or electricity. Will the lads get the message, find jobs, and move out, or will they cling to life at mom and pop's at all costs? They take in boarders, who may be their salvation. Meanwhile, mom wants to come home and continue babying her sons. Can the house survive?
