MARTIN YATES
A successful business executive and lifelong city resident, Martin couldn't be happier with his family's move to the country--or more perplexed by his family's reluctance to share in his joy. For Martin, the country represents everything the city does not: a brand new start, a strong sense of community and a great opportunity to finally learn how to use tools.

TIM BURNS
A fifth-generation resident of his hometown, bread-truck driver Tim loves his family, likes his life and tolerates his new next-door neighbor and would-be past pal Martin. Hard-working, plain spoken and even-tempered, Tim has the all the makings of a great friend, despite his longing to simply be left alone.

SUZANNA YATES
Born and bread in the city, Martin's socialite wife feels like she's been orphaned in the country. Having always defined herself by her upscale address, high-priced possessions and well-heeled associates, Suzanna finds that she must make do in her new surroundings...or just make enemies.

DIANE BURNS
Tim's wife, high-school sweetheart and best friend, Diane is hopeful where her husband is reconciled, open-hearted where her neighbor Suzanna is closed-minded and eager to be good friends with her new neighbors where the rest of her family is satisfied just to be on good terms with them.

BENNY YATES
The Yates' supremely self-confident but completely self-unaware eight-year-old son has his mind on becoming a leading force in drama, his eye on his neighbor's teenage daughter and his foot in his mouth whenever he speaks.

EMMA BURNS
Thoughtful to the point of brooding, insightful to the point of critical, the Burns' youngest daughter is strong-willed and sharp-tongued, often wanting to keep to herself rather than keep company with her teenage sister of her new neighbor/classmate/irritant Benny.

CAMMY BURNS
Average in intelligence but first-rate in looks, the Burns' 16-year-old daughter is the apple of her dad's eye and the center of attention for every high-school boy...and odd eight-year-old kid next door.
