Season 2
Season Two continues exploring the lives of the Salingers - five siblings determined to stay together following the tragic loss of their parents.
Bailey (the second eldest), his two younger sisters and their baby brother are left in the care of the eldest, but least dependable, sibling Charlie, who is in his early twenties.
Season Two finds Charlie struggling to come to terms with his new responsibilities as head of the family - made more difficult by the fact that his siblings do not see him as an authority figure.
Bailey has his own problems to deal with as he battles to find a nanny for baby Owen; Julia abandons her household responsibilities and Claudia is trying to raise money to keep the family afloat after Charlie’s foolhardy business.
As the Salingers each face their own troubles they begin to realise that the only way to make a family work is to work together.
