House Rules

HOUSE RULES is a sharp, funny domestic comedy about what happens when a hyper-controlled “temporary” lodger quietly becomes the most reliable adult in the room.

Kate Rivers is holding her life together with caffeine, deadlines, and sheer willpower. Her son Levi is brilliant, chaotic, and always one bad idea away from a science experiment. When Stone moves into their spare room—precise, disciplined, and allergic to mess—he tries to stay invisible.

He fails immediately.

Sticky notes multiply. Systems tighten. Levi turns Stone into an unwilling co-parental prototype. And Kate starts realizing the men who talk about “later” don’t actually show up… while the one she keeps calling temporary never stops.

As a boyfriend fades, a house recalibrates—and a new kind of stability starts forming in the most unexpected place: the space between order and love.

A one-season, binge-ready story—funny, warm, and quietly feral about care, control, and what “staying” really means.
