Calvin Palmer is the owner of a barbershop on the Southside of Chicago. Reluctantly inheriting the neighborhood establishment and popular hangout from his father, he juggles his responsibilities to his clients, his family, and his community as a cast of unique characters regularly bring their hopes, dreams and problems with them into the shop.

Propriétaire du salon de coiffure hérité de son père, Calvin Palmer est l'âme de la communauté. Son salon est le lieu de rencontre local.
