If all comedy is watching someone else's pain, then watching Jim McManus is a riot. Jim's life is an assortment of modern complications: a wife who tries to understand him, two children who don't want to understand him, a boss who can't understand him and a best friend who thinks he understands him all too well. On the weekends, Jim dons the uniform of a Civil War Union captain and loses himself and his problems in the past. But what happens when he's caught between the present he can't live with and the past he can't live without?
