When career criminal Wolfgang West gets put away for four years, his wife Cheryl decides it's time for her family to go straight. But can the Wests change the habits of a lifetime?
Working for the Hong family, Van finds himself the object of Mrs. Hong's affections; Pascalle suffers through the indignity of working for a living; Cheryl sticks up for her fellow checkout chicks and learns that being on the right side of the law doesn't necessarily mean being honest.
Cheryl receives some unwanted attention from two of Wolf's best mates; Jethro's supposed Maori heritage comes under fire when a lawyerly "colleague" starts to question the West family whakapapa (genealogy); and Pascalle has a new line of work.
Wolf comes home. Just for a day. But a lot can happen in a day.
The West offspring try to help their mum in each their own ways.
Grandpa finds love in all the wrong places - and Loretta does not cope well with it, while Pascalle has her first secret admirer.
