Millionaire CEO Michael Blake and his wife Tiffany are on vacation in Hawaii when Michael is called by his attorney, Ryan Harmon, who informs him that the media has gotten ahold of several of Michael's covered up scandals, including him cheating on college exams, having many affairs, one of which could have resulted in a child, bribing Stanford University to accept his daughter, Ellie, and the NFL to draft his son, Nick, who is preparing for his first Super Bowl, and the supposed murder of his two friends during his college years. Michael is arrested and, along with Tiffany, brought back to Los Angeles. Michael is placed in jail to await his trial, while Tiffany seeks refuge from the public media with her older sister, Shannon Carlson, the CEO of their father's business, Charles Studios, along with her seemingly perfect family, husband Daniel, and children Lily and Colin. Shannon, seeing herself as more successful, tries to show Tiffany that not everything goes according to plan. Tiffany also learns that Ellie has been kicked out of Stanford, while Nick's status in the NFL is being reviewed. Both are revealed to have had no idea of what their parents did, while Nick is revealed to be in the closet. Tiffany meets with her father to get some money due to her bank account being frozen, but after a talk with him, in which he insults her, she refuses his money and goes back to Blake Enterprises, and reveals that she is still acting CEO, despite CFO Truman Gonzalez's pleas. Meanwhile, Michael and Harmon discover that the former's trial is being placed first priority and will commence as soon as possible.
