For Ki, the long-suffering wife, things are falling apart—her remorseless husband wishes to walk out on her and her son. Unable to cope, her uncommunicative son chooses to tune out of his parent’s arguments. Ki feebly refuses divorce to keep the family intact, but her husband is already eagerly anticipating a new marriage with a baby coming on the way. Ki has her searing anger building up behind the façade of normalcy. On the verge of a breakdown with pleading fallen on deaf ears, she takes matters into her own hands.

Admiral Frank Beardsley returns to New London to run the Coast Guard Academy, his last stop before a probable promotion to head the Guard. A widower with eight children, he runs a loving but tight ship, with charts and salutes. The kids long for a permanent home. Helen North is a free spirit, a designer whose ten children live in loving chaos, with occasional group hugs. Helen and Frank, high school sweethearts, reconnect at a reunion, and it's love at first re-sighting. They marry on the spot. Then the problems start as two sets of kids, the free spirits and the disciplined preppies, must live together. The warring factions agree to work together to end the marriage.
