It's Life Unexpected when 15-year-old foster kid Lux (Britt Robertson) goes looking for the birth parents she never knew, only to find a bar owner father with a bit of a Peter Pan complex (Kristoffer Polaha) and a morning show host mother (Shiri Appleby) who makes her living sparring with her soon-to-be husband (Kerr Smith) on the radio. Lux doesn't want a family -- all she needs is her birth parents' signatures so that she can get a judge to emancipate her. But when the judge orders Lux into their temporary custody, she ends up with an unconventional mom and dad who might still have unresolved feelings for each other.
