Eight ordinary Americans have made an extreme choice: opening their home to a roommate just released from prison. These individuals have a singular goal- help the former inmate re-enter society and stay out of prison.

After 18 years behind bars, Bill is finally released from prison and immediately hit with a long list of rules from devout Mark and Sharna.

Shortly after Darquavion moves into Henry's house, he goes missing. Mark takes Bill for a driving lesson and learns about his pre-lockup getaway skills.

Sparks fly as Kyle and Sandra lay down the list of guidelines for released inmate Nick. We meet Tiffane, who's taking in Ari, a young woman finishing up her four and a half year sentence for identity theft and bank fraud.

Tiffane and her friend/naysayer, Quinn, pick up Arielle from prison and tensions boil on the ride home. After Darquavion's family friend visits him at Henry's house, an explosive conversation about values is sparked.

Henry, Darquavion and Uncle Joe's conversation about calling the police, quickly turns explosive. Bill prepares to visit his girlfriend in California but not before Sharna gets into a war of words with him.
