Step Dave is a light-hearted, family drama which demonstrates one of the realities of modern life - that families come in all different shapes and sizes.

Dave, a 24-year-old ordinary kiwi slacker, finds his life turned upside down when he meets the girl of his dreams - Cara - and her three kids. In this series, home is where the heart is - even if that home is crammed full of kids, teenagers, ex-mother-in-laws and hangers-on.

Can this unconventional relationship survive the age difference and the pressures of the multi-generational household? Can Dave step up (no pun intended) and be a proper parent? Should he even try to?
