The series follows the daily lives and adventures of two siblings; Michael Menville, a 9-year-old boy, and his African-American 8-year-old sister, Milly Menville, who live in an unspecified neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York City with their mother, Mackenzie Menville.
Other characters include Muffin (Michael and Milly's green-furred cat), Tracy Johnson (the 13-year old next-door neighbor of the duo who is their best friend) and Scarlet Thompson (Michael and Milly's other best friend whom the former secretly has a crush on).
