“The Queen of Country” Reba McEntire returns to the small screen as a woman who leaves it all behind in order to make a new life.
When Reba’s husband, a country music star, cheats on her, Reba moves her family from Nashville to Malibu. Her mama, Lillie Mae, comes along for their California adventure that starts quickly when they move in next door to Kim, a rich, buxom, blonde housewife. Having given up her own singing career to raise her two kids, Reba’s bent on starting where she left off in spite of the stonewalling from her music producer’s assistant, Geoffrey.

Meanwhile, her son Cash deals with going from being a prince in Nashville to a pauper in Malibu.
