Josh is happy being a beat cop in a small Vermont town — He has Garrison, their dog, and a wide group of friends and family, even though he hasn't spoken to his own blood relatives in years. But then Josh gets called back home to Ohio right before Christmas, when his sister tracks him down to inform him his father passed away weeks ago. He arrives to find that the requirements of his father's regarding the family business will have left everyone in an uproar. Lucky for Josh, he has a live-in lawyer at hand — He just has to come up with a solution that everyone can live with, including himself.
