Uncle Jake

Jake Evans, an out-of-work, fun-loving former rock musician, moves in with his older sister, Sophia Livingston, an Environmental Attorney, to help care for her two kids, Corey and Violet, after losing her husband a year prior.

Fun-loving Jake Evans, 36, who has tried his hand in numerous failed ventures from playing in a Rock band, being a model, pilot, and a video music director, gets uprooted in Brazil after getting a call from his nephew. The latter needs some male mentorship. He moves back to Washington, D.C., and in with his older sister Sophia Livingston, 38, an Environmental Attorney who lost her husband a year ago to help take care of her two kids, Corey, 11, and Violet, 16.

Jake helps the family solve all their problems in his own unique way while having playful banter with Sophia's best friend Gretchen, 39, a single dentist.
