The series stars John Ralston as Steve Unger, a former high-flying corporate executive struggling to rebuild his life after being indicted on fraud, obstruction and racketeering charges. Legally forbidden to hold any job dealing with other people's money, he finds himself ordered to teach a business ethics class—and is forced to live in his car when his wife will not let him back into their home.
After living the life of a wealthy CEO Steve Unger has trouble adjusting to life as an ex-con with convictions for racketeering, obstruction of justice, and fraud. Shunned by his wife, former colleagues, and even his parents, Steven turns to his lawyer for help and to retrieve a luxury car that he had put in his lawyer's name to avoid it being seized.
Steve wakes up from his first night living in his car to find himself in an impound lot. Desperate to get his car back Steve forges a letter from his lawyer authorising him to possess the car and steals money from his daughter to pay the $200 fee. In an attempt to pay his daughter back Steve takes a job picking worms but when he tries to manage his co-workers and then act as their agent he gets everyone fired.
On June 14, 2010 Astral Media and Corus Entertainment announced a second season of Living in Your Car had been commissioned and would begin production in the summer of 2010 for broadcast in 2011.[3]
