"Tyler Perry's House of Payne" is a comedy series about a multi-generational, working-class family who experience all of life's struggles with faith, love and humor. Atlanta firefighter Curtis "Pops" Payne thinks his home is his castle, but he needs a bigger moat around it. His nephew CJ and the kids invade his space for an extended stay, and his penniless son Calvin still visits regularly, mostly for mealtimes and laundry days. Luckily, Curtis has a loving wife who never gives up and keeps him from breaking down.
