古くなった実家を2世帯住宅に建て替えることにした立花家だが、ひきこもりの兄・雅治(松田龍平)の居住スペースが問題に。父・修(木場勝己)はこれを機に自立すればいいと言い、母・恵子(風吹ジュン)は無理をさせたくないと擁護する。一方、妹・沙織(臼田あさ美)は兄の部屋をなくして玄関を二つにしたいと自分勝手な主張を繰り出す。話し合いがまとまらない中、ハウスメーカーの川村(井之脇海)の説得によりなんとか「2.5世帯住宅」の建設に向けて歩み出す。
そうして始まった新生活。ゲームの世界ではカリスマとあがめられている雅治だが、妹には「家事を手伝え」、中学生になるお年頃のめい・恵麻(白鳥玉季)には「キモい」と言われ、仕事をしていない“0.5”の存在に居場所はありそうになく……。
