A middle-aged couple are getting ready to enjoy some peace and quiet after finally getting their three kids out of the nest. They are alone together, but not for long. Their peaceful life comes to a screeching halt when the kids come charging back home and mistakenly think they have a refuge. This show is a hilarious and heart-warming triumph for parents looking forward to the empty nest!
