Synopsis
The series follows the lives of two teenage boys and their older brother, who has to take responsibility for the boys after their parents die. The eldest Bailey brother, twenty-one-year-old Ty'ree (Pooch Hall), is a mail room manager at a publishing company. He was accepted into MIT prior to the events of the show, but declined the acceptance to raise his younger brothers. Charlie (Sean Nelson), the middle boy, has just gotten out of a juvenile detention facility and is mad at the universe. Once an avid pet lover and baseball fanatic, life behind bars has changed him. Lafayette (Julito McCullum), the youngest Bailey brother at age fourteen, loves and breathes baseball. However, his game has been out-of-sync since his mother's death. He goes on to play in a championship game, in which he faces an all-star team from Greenwich Village. The series follows the boys through the hardships of growing up on their own.
