New century. Same skillet. Zero chill. ​In 2116 aboard Sector Neo-Atlanta, The Love Train Hover-Diner is the last authentic soul-food joint left standing in a world of synthetic nutrient pills. Run by the loud, skillet-wielding Big Mama Gertie, her grid-hacking freeloading brother Uncle Roscoe, and her melodramatic daughter Brenda, the diner serves up heavy grease, hot biscuits, and non-stop family dysfunction. ​At the center of the storm is Brenda's sensible son, Marcus ("Marc"), who gets caught in a vicious daily catfight between his two territorial coworkers, Kiki and Raven. The rivalry explodes when Raven's wild younger sister, Roxie, struts through the diner doors with a marriage license-revealing that Marc drunkenly tied the knot with her during a blackout weekend in Neo-Honolulu. ​Before the fur flies, the diner doors blast open for Aunt Cordelia ("Big Cordy")-Gertie's six-foot-one, muumuu-wearing, pistol-packing older sister who's dodging Sector Marshals. Packing a high-voltage laser piece in her purse and zero tolerance for foolishness, Aunt Cordy steps in to lay down the law, knock heads together, and save the diner from total destruction.

IT'S THE LOCKJAW, TERRY! THE RUST GOT INTO MY BLOOD!! THE RUST INTO MY BLOODSTREAM! MY JAW IS FUSING SHUT! TELL THE MEDICS TO BURY ME WITH MY FAVORITE RIFLE... I'M LOCKING UP FOREVER!" ​Welcome to the Edge of Alaska, where the wilderness is brutal, the stakes are sky-high, and the local salvage yard is a 5-billion-percent upgraded comedy zone of generational warfare. ​Thirty-five-year-old Terry is ready to drag his family's struggling wilderness salvage business into the 21st century. Equipped with cutting-edge drones, satellite trackers, and high-tech mapping software, he's launching Frontier Recovery & Eco-Tours to bring in wealthy city clients and save their outpost from bankruptcy. There's just one massive, seventy-five-year-old obstacle standing in his way: his father, Jerry. ​Jerry is a stubborn-as-a-mule, old-school survivalist who views technology as a personal insult to his fifty years of rugged Alaskan grit. Backed by his "Senior Chain-Gang"-a hilariously useless squad of old-timers named Rolex, Oatmeal, Gravy, and Silas-Jerry has mastered the art of tactical laziness. The exact second Terry hands him a computer screen or a legal permit, Jerry launches into a masterpiece theatrical medical emergency. From The Instant Blindness to The Sudden Locked-Jaw, Jerry will crash through furniture and wail to the heavens for his late wife Martha and his legendary dead sled dog Blue to open the pearly gates, only to miraculously recover the instant his secret stash of premium smoked salmon is threatened. ​But the bickering reaches a boiling point when Terry's drone spots a distinct glint of metal deep inside a treacherous, unmapped mountain valley known as Dead Man's Ridge. Jerry recognizes it instantly from old bush-pilot legends: it's a missing 1950s cargo plane carrying a massive fortune in pristine, vintage gold-mining valuables.

But when an accidental spell unlocks Barberina's Two-Year Future Window, she sees a junior-year disaster that gets Daniel expelled. ​Shouting "Oh sweet giblets!", Barberina vows to fix the future before it happens. But when her timeline tampering summons a real monster to the mall, the entire family must unleash full supernatural power to save the Galleria-all while keeping Daniel locked in a closet and completely in the dark.
