与其他普通的美国家庭一样，住在帕萨迪纳的沃克（Walker）一家也有自己的烦恼。五个成年子女——莎拉(Sarah)、汤米(Tommy)、凯文(Kevin)、贾斯汀(Justin)和凯蒂(Kitty)——都希望可以不辜负父母的期望，但是现实生活并没有这么简单，他们几乎每天都为日常琐事所累。当然他们身边还有他们至亲的人——他们的母亲诺拉(Nora)，诺拉的哥哥所罗(Saul)，莎拉的丈夫乔(Joe)，汤米的妻子朱丽亚（Julia）还有情人霍莉（Holly）。这些人加在一起，上演了一部真实的人间戏剧。 《兄弟姐妹》的取材角度正是当今美国人生活中最困惑的地方－－总是面临各种压力、各种两难选择，总是想不断超越自我。莎拉，一个事业成功的社团副总裁，为了事业和婚姻两不误，选择回到家族来打理生意；汤米，对家族忠心耿耿，但是却喜欢整天偎翠依红，泡在温柔乡里；凯文，律师...It's been a year since the Walker family was torn apart by a tragic car accident, and in a very un-Walker like fashion, everyone has been avoiding everyone else. Truths and reality only start to set in when the family is forced to come together for Justin's homecoming party: Nora tries to prepare for the party, but is not acting like the mother she used to be; Sarah is consumed with the Narrow Lake deal; Kevin has a new career as public defense attorney; Saul and Scotty are running their restaurant; and Kitty's life has become a taboo subject for everyone.
