Set in 1970s Brooklyn, it tells the story of the Carmichael family, a working-class Black family living in a tight-knit, vibrant neighborhood. At the heart of the story is Troy Carmichael, a 9-year-old girl growing up with her four brothers, her loving but stressed-out mother Carolyn, and her struggling musician father Woody.
