Dan and Caroline Yoder are thrilled that their teenage daughter, Molly, is college-bound, but their plans to turn her bedroom into a home gym are on hold when Molly reveals she is pregnant. She and the baby's father decide to marry, forcing the Yoders to blend with the Hernandezes, an East L.A. family whose patriarch has a less-than-ideal history with Dan. As the two families try to get along and blend traditions, they must figure out what the unexpected event means for their children's future.
