The Fipple family from early 1960s Los Angeles have no idea what they are doing with their lives: teenagers George, Few, Ron, their parents Walter and Kimberly, and Ron's father, John, share a house in Encino. George, Walter and Few are there to lose their virginity, while Walter is looking for a new wife, as Kimberly has crossed the border to Tijuana because she wants a fast divorce. Their neighbors, the McGillicuddys, are looking to kill the patriarch of the Fipple family, John.
