Nick Foley is a successful entrepreneur who lives in New Jersey with his British butler, John Clapper. He heads Foley's Frozen Foods , a company that produces frozen foods. In order to acquire the image of a family man himself, he decides to take in six girls from dysfunctional social backgrounds. These would have been separated from the youth welfare office if Foley hadn't taken them all in together.

First, both the girls and Nick Foley have to live together. Originally planned only on a temporary basis, Nick develops an affection for them and eventually adopts them. The girls are very musical. In each episode they reveal their emotional life by singing songs , similar to the TV series Glee .
