The founding fathers are back and preparing to take on modern America. Meet John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and George Washington as they break free from their chains, pull some pranks and attend their first party.
After experiencing their first modern American party, and witnessing George Washington do his first keg stand, the founding fathers start to adjust to their new lives. John Adams starts his job search, George Washington attempts to contact residents at his former estate and Alexander Hamilton has his heart crushed by his true love Mindi. Will the men maintain their confidence and strength during this adjustment period or will they be left in the dark?
With the last of their per diem used for consumption of liquor, the men scramble to refine their resumes and search for the perfect job where they can showcase their talents. Washington has his first interview at a law firm, Adams' future starts to scream barista, Jefferson defends his decision to pursue a career in music, Madison, well, is Madison, Hamilton struggles to highlight his list of accomplishments and Benjamin Franklin may have found his first friend in the modern age.
As George Washington gets acclimated to his new job, Franklin and Hamilton are at home dealing with Madison as his mind gets increasingly worse. Jefferson heads off to his first open-mic performance while John Adams heads off to his first day of work. Franklin and Hamilton soon discover a gift that Madison has.
Alexander Hamilton takes advantage of James Madison's ability to tell the future and makes quick cash gambling. Thomas Jefferson, still reeling from his last open mic failure is pushed by John Adams to try again. George Washington and the others agree to attend, but Madison's condition keeps getting worse.
With the loss of Madison, the Founding Father's household is turned upside down, with one advantage being their return to electricity. Washington handles his first difficult client at work, Adams makes his first friend by a dumpster and Franklin and Jefferson join Hamilton on the search for missing Madison.
The Founding Fathers try to move on with no sign of James Madison. Benjamin Franklin tries to get a job. Thomas Jefferson gets serious about his music. John Adams meets Abby again. George Washington tries to figure out what Caroline is up to. And Alexander Hamilton buys guns... lots of guns.
To rouse Hamilton's spirits, Adams and Jefferson arrange for all the Fathers to meet at a bar and celebrate the good things in these modern times. Unfortunately, Washington is still thwarted by Caroline, Mindi is resistant to come, and Hamilton earns his second loss in dueling.
After Alexander Hamilton's bar fight, the tension between the Founding Fathers has grown. John Adams' new girlfriend hasn't called him since that night and he blames Hamilton entirely. George Washington's situation at work is increasingly difficult, but he finds the courage to stand up to Caroline and reclaim his dignity. Jefferson and Franklin come home, only to find that their residence is not secure.
