The Bakers are a blended family that began with Paul Baker (Zach Braff) and his wife Kate (Erika Christensen) (who dreams about expanding her yoga studio) who together had daughters Ella (Kylie Rogers) (Wants to be a social media Influencer) and Harley (Caylee Blosenski) (wants her punk band to go viral) and their adopted son Haresh (Aryan Simhadri) (who wants to be a music player) after their friends died in a car accident. Kate and Paul got married after she got pregnant in college. As time went on, Kate felt suffocated in the relationship with Paul. Kate eventually divorced Paul, but they remained friends with Kate acting as an occasional, though slightly inattentive, babysitter.Zoey (Gabrielle Union) married football player Dominic "Dom" Clayton (Timon Durrett) and had daughter Deja (Journee Brown) (wants to play basketball) and son DJ (Andre Robinson) (who wants to be a Lego designer and a comic book artist). Due to Dom's celebrity life, Zoey divorced him and took custody of the kids.Paul met Zoey after she visited his small restaurant and suggested that he make the entire menu breakfast themed all day. The two eventually got married, expanded the restaurant, renamed it Baker's Breakfast and had two sets of twins: Luca (Leo Abelo Perry) and Luna (Mykal-Michelle Harris), and Bronx (Sebastian Cote) and Bailey (Christian Cote).Dom continues to be active in Deja and DJ's lives which slightly intimidates Paul as he was rarely there to begin with. While Deja prepares for her basketball scholarship, DJ feels that he connects with Paul more than Dom and would rather speak with him. Deja has a successful game in front of a scout and when Paul offers to celebrate, she decides to go for a 1:1 lunch with Dom instead.Paul gets a meeting with a large company to expand his restaurant. He succeeds and has his famous sauce (that tastes Sweet, Salty and Savory depending on what you put it on) sold on shelves. The investors Melanie and Michelle buy out the company name and brand in exchange for the funding. He decides to use the money to move the family and their pet dogs Bark Obama and Joe Bitin' from Los Angeles to Calabasas, in a bigger house in a gated community. Deja is not happy as she would have to move to a new team.As the sauce gets popular, the investors propose an expansion plan, which means more work for Paul.Upon arrival, Zoey begins to feel the effects of racial profiling, especially after meeting her neighbor Anne (June Diane Raphael). Paul suddenly gets a call informing him that his sister Rachel (Cynthia Murell) has checked into rehab, forcing him to take in his nephew Seth (Luke Prael), who has had a habit of being a thief. The kids are not happy about this decision, but they are not given a choice. Seth bonds with Haresh when he discovers that he is being picked on at the new school because of his ethnicity and teaches him to defend himself. Deja begins seeing a boy named Chris (Simeon Daise) and sneaks out of the house to see him.Paul finds himself having to travel to look for new places to expand his restaurant. The investors Melanie (Brittany Daniel) and Michele (Cynthia Daniel Hauser) also insist on altering some of his business ideals to cut costs. They also insist that Paul changes the brand name, as it is confusing with chains with a similar sounding name. He starts to miss out on being with his family which upsets Zoey as this was the reason she divorced Dom. Deja doesn't get game time, as the new coach keeps benching her in favor of other white kids on the team.On DJ's birthday, Paul rushes to get home. During the party, things start to get out of hand as DJ changes his look to impress a girl, Haresh and Seth are suspended from school for a week after starting a fight with the kids who bullied Haresh, and Anne profiles Zoey's family for a series of recent break-ins. Upon Paul arriving, Deja reveals that she quit the basketball team and that the entire family has been unhappy since arriving in Calabasas. Feeling that Zoey can no longer handle their kids, Dom announces that he wants full custody of Deja and DJ.Harley and Ella accuse Seth of the break-ins after Haresh pointed out that he saw him stealing from the restaurant cash register, though he returned it and he angrily leaves. Upon realizing their mistake, the Bakers, Kate, and Dom all go out and find Seth. They apologize and admit that he is part of the family and he rejoins them.Back at home, Paul and Dom discuss their different upbringings; while Paul will never know what it is like to be at a disadvantage, Dom has to understand that being away from his kids has made him distant and that he needs to be more attentive. Realizing how much his family means to him, Paul breaks his deal with the company so that he can run the restaurant himself. The Bakers move back to Los Angeles and buy a new house. While having dinner, or rather breakfast, at the newly named Baker's Dozen Breakfast, Paul reveals the design of the sauce bottle has changed to reflect the family, Seth included.The end credits show Dom, Paul, and Zoey were able to invest their sauce and went National. Kate invented bird yoga. Seth moved back in with his mom after she got out of rehab, but still spends lots of time with his cousins. Deja and Chris soon started their freshman years at USC. Ella became the social manager for Harley's punk band and a video of her band playing at her school talent show broke the internet. Luna and Luca won the tennis national under 12 division becoming like Venus and Serena. DJ, Talia, and Dom went to Comic-Con and bonded while Dom realized he liked Thor.
