LIFE IN PIECES is a comedy about one big happy family and their sometimes awkward, often hilarious, and ultimately beautiful milestone moments as told by the family's various members. Of the three siblings, middle child Matt may have just found his true love, his co-worker Colleen; his coddled, youngest brother Greg and his wife Jen are overwhelmed by the birth of their first child; and the eldest, Heather, and her husband Tim are dreading their impending empty nest so much, they're considering having another baby. Joan is the family's adoring matriarch who would do anything for her kids - as long as she agrees with it - and John is the gregarious patriarch who's searching for ways to soften the blow of turning 70. In four short stories each week, the family tries to savor the little pieces of time that flash by, but add up to what life's all about.
