查理死了，只留下一所海边别墅给他弟弟艾伦（乔恩·克莱尔 Jon Cryer 饰）。因为负担不起房子的保养费，艾伦在老妈的怂恿下，决定出售房子。
这天，艾伦终于收到查理的骨灰，家里却来了个不速之客。这个突然出现的男人叫沃顿（阿什顿·库彻 Ashton Kutcher 饰），有钱多金，身材好长得帅，却企图自杀来挽回要离婚的妻子。在艾伦的劝阻下，沃顿决定活下来，还把艾伦的别墅买下来了。就像以前投靠哥哥查理一样，艾伦也以“朋友”的身份，“赖”在已经属于沃顿的这所海边别墅不走了，加上已经17岁的儿子杰克（安加斯·T·琼斯 Angus T. Jones 饰），好汉两个半的生活又开始了。
The series is set inside the bubble of Silicon Valley, amid misguided corporate cultures, moony innovation labs and cutthroat private high schools. It is centered around a rift between a self-appointed “inventor of the future” tech CEO and his self-serving “performance psychologist”, who are engulfed in a scandal sparked by the exploitation of personal data.
It tells the story of Adolfo Novak, patriarch of one of the most powerful families in the country, who gathers his family and close friends to celebrate his 80th birthday.
Behind the toasts and smiles lie decades of secrets, betrayals, blind loyalties and a strong desire for revenge. The evening will end up blowing up and revealing a truth that, when finally comes to light, will be much more unexpected and surprising than any previous suspicion.
Production details for Crookhaven, the upcoming television adaptation of J.J. Arcanjo’s The School for Thieves series, are currently being kept under wraps.
