A well-to-do white family struck by overnight financial ruin struggle to find their place in the urban, multicultural working-class neighborhood they are forced to move into.

The Van Kampen family is in for another big surprise. They have just settled in nicely among their new friends, when they receive the news that the Hollandwijk is threatened with demolition. To make matters worse, Erik's father, the oppertatta, comes to live with them and everything the Tatta's have built up is thrown completely out of balance.
