"Tyler Perry's House of Payne" is a comedy series about a multi-generational, working-class family who experience all of life's struggles with faith, love and humor. Atlanta firefighter Curtis "Pops" Payne thinks his home is his castle, but he needs a bigger moat around it. His nephew CJ and the kids invade his space for an extended stay, and his penniless son Calvin still visits regularly, mostly for mealtimes and laundry days. Luckily, Curtis has a loving wife who never gives up and keeps him from breaking down.

As the family prepares for Janine's return, everyone and everything goes awry.

With Lisa and Malik home with the new baby and Janine's plane status still unknown, tensions are very high; Ella and Miranda welcome the couple and the newborn home while Curtis, C.J., and Calvin are elsewhere.

Lisa struggles with what classes to take in college and is afraid she may make the wrong choices.

Curtis uses his street resources to acquire a beat-up food truck for his barbecue business, only to learn the truck was used for something other than food; Malik and Lisa fight over roles.
