After Wolf West (David James Elliott) is sent to prison, his wife and high school sweetheart, Cheryl (Virginia Madsen), realizes the family duties are all on her shoulders now. She runs the West Family Surplus Store and keeps the Palm Springs Police Department at bay while preventing her four kids — Cal, Logan, Heather, and Hope — from following in their father’s footsteps and doing prison time as well. They have it in their blood, though, so it’s not easy. Wolf’s father is a world-famous safe-cracker, making criminal activity truly the family business. Wolf is a criminal but he’s a petty thief, refusing to do anything connected to violence or drugs. He’s doing time after getting caught stealing a shipment of lobsters.
