When filthy-rich video store magnate Johnny Rose (Eugene Levy), his soap star wife Moira (Catherine O'Hara) and their two kids, über-hipster son David (Dan Levy) and socialite daughter Alexis suddenly find themselves broke, they are forced to leave their pampered lives to regroup and rebuild their empire from within the rural city limits of their only remaining asset - Schitt's Creek, an arm pit of a town they once bought as a joke.

In series two it’s been several days since the sale of the town fell through, and the Roses are still searching for their missing son, David. It soon becomes clear, however, that Moira may be even more worried about the bag that David took with him. Meanwhile, Alexis must make a difficult choice between Ted and Mutt. Luckily, she’s able to delay her decision when David is found in the most unlikely of places.

As series three gets underway, the Roses find themselves at a crossroads between longing for the life they left behind and embracing the town they’ve reluctantly come to call home. Johnny has hit a brick wall in his quest to get the Roses out of Schitt’s Creek, and struggles to find a new project to give his life purpose. Moira adjusts to her new position on the Town Council, learning the hard way that big ideas aren’t always compatible with smalltown realities. Meanwhile their children Alexis and David are learning the dangers of mixing love with your family.
