In a fictional and upper-class suburb of Los Angeles, Nancy Botwin (Mary-Louise Parker) is left to raise sons Shane (Alexander Gould) and Silas (Hunter Parrish) alone after her husband Judah (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) dies of heart failure.

She quickly finds herself in a financial crisis so, with nowhere else to turn, Nancy begins to sell marijuana to her fellow suburbanites – while keeping it a secret from her sons, fellow PTA members and nosy neighbors.
