Entering witness protection, tight-laced former college professor Franklin and rough-around-the-edges former drug dealer Owen are paired as “husbands," and the two opposites immediately clash.

But that doesn’t stop them from ending their first day together even worse tha

After a rocky start to the relationship, Franklin begins the second day of their new life by insulting Owen, who leaves the house angry. Then, Franklin starts his first shift at his work-at-home job as a tele-helper. When Owen returns, he drunkenly reveals that he was coerced into a life of crime, and later admits that he lied on his witness protection placement sheet. Diane is fed up.

At first, Owen jealously attempts to derail their new friendship, but then he comes to an unexpected realization. Meanwhile, Franklin’s stalker, Jordan, is still a threat.
