The Salingers, a family of only siblings after their parents are killed by a drunk driver in an car accident. Charlie (Matthew Fox), is the eldest, a 24-year old who struggles with the responsibility of being the new head of the family; 16-year-old Bailey (Scott Wolf) is the rebellious teen turned substance abuser; 15-year old Julia (Neve Campbell), is a sensitive teen facing issues of her own; 11-year old Claudia (Lacey Chabert) is the precocious and a talented child prodigy, and Owen is the baby.
The siblings take over the running of their family’s restaurant, with Charlie serving as manager and later with Bailey as a waiter. The struggles faced by the Salingers in the series includes cancer, alcoholism, physical abuse, and the long term effects of parental loss.
