His wife, Astoria (portrayed by Simone Missick), and their sons, Einstein (Evan Ellison) and Harrison (Jahi Di’Allo Winston), have adapted to a different dynamic during his absence, leading to a chaotic adjustment upon his return.

The show features a talented ensemble cast, including David Oyelowo, Simone Missick, Jahi Di’Allo Winston, Evan Ellison, Bokeem Woodbine, and Louis Cancelmi.
