The Steinberg's children were accustomed to a rather boring life. Needless to say, they had never encountered anything different, or out of the ordinary, with their uptight, nonchalant parents. All James and Georgie know is a straightforward, constricted day of school, and homework, with no distractions whatsoever.
But all that changes when they find themselves bringing home seven children, by suitcase, bicicyle, water, flight, fear, and love.
Alex is sent to boarding school cause he keeps getting expelled and his parents are over it so they send him to boarding school. He's anxious about everything but he covers it up with humor like he does with everything else. He meets his roommate and he seems crazy at first but turns out Alex and his roommate are very similar.
