Chip Baskets wants to follow his dream of being a French clown—however, reality keeps interfering. Saddled with financial difficulties and facing an impenetrable language barrier, he moves back home to Bakersfield with high hopes. There, he is forced to confront his past while working as a rodeo clown and competing with his siblings for his mother's approval and affection.
The Baskets family is at its most fragile. After losing his wife and rodeo job, Chip jumps on a train to get out of Bakersfield, but a gang of gutter punks, the police and an unexpected tragedy drag him back into the drama he tried to escape.
Nothing brings a family together like a family business—or at least that was the plan. Welcome to the Baskets Family Rodeo, where Christine is the President and CEO despite never having seen a rodeo before. Chip has his first full-time gig since Arby’s, but can barely transfer a phone call, let alone recruit much-needed clowns. And even though Dale is the only one in the family who has run a business, he can’t get anyone to listen to him—his family, the employees, or the horses.
After 49 years, Chip decides it’s finally time to move out of his mom’s place. But even with the help of Martha and a life coach, he learns that leaving the nest is hard, to say the least. Christine and Ken move into a new place they can call their own, but carpet emergencies and missing kitchen magnets make the transition rockier than expected. And Dale has found kindred spirits with his fellow inhabitants at the RV park.
