Marty and the Pod travel to New York City to consult for MetroCapital, a mega-bank that is looking for a plan to unscrupulously justify taking their year-end bonuses as the financial world around them burns.
Their biggest business rivals -- run by his ex wife with whom he continues to have sex with sometimes -- are also offered the job.
They manage to get hired by inventing a debt cancellation campaign which will have a big publicity impact but cost very little.
Back at home, Marty gets some unwanted advice on how to raise his son Roscoe from Jeremiah Kaan, Marty's live-in father, when Roscoe decides to audition for the female lead in a school play.
Tension ensues when the role for the leading female in the play is contested between Roscoe and another girl Britney. The parents of both children have been informed to attend a meeting in which it will be decided who gets the coveted position.
Ultimately, Marty's son is given another role in the school play instead of that of the lead female role Sandy. Upon being told this, Roscoe complains it is not fair, and Marty responds, "Life is full of unfair moments bud".
Afterwards, the family go to the school for the play. As the show is going on, Marty is missing:he was having sex with Britney's mom in a car.
After the session, they go back inside and act like nothing happened. Marty and the Pod are sent to Phoenix to clean up a mess at a very powerful sports franchise, caused by the owners' impending divorce.
Their marriage crisis can't be fixed, but they solve the team's problems by having the owners act reconciled. Once there, Jeannie takes a dinner meeting with Derek, an old flame; but she is deflated when she finds out that his real intentions regarding her are to offer her a new job because he's a headhunter.
Marty arrives at the offices to find Greg Norbert there to announce the possible acquisition of Galweather by MetroCapital. The Pod then flies to Indiana to consult for a beverage company, where Marty applies his management skills to turn a loss into a win.
The company wants to run some improvement program which may very well turn out horribly. In the end, they get fired not advising to run the program, but get hired by another company since Marty forecasts that the company will go broke very soon.

Marty goes to war with his son's school after Roscoe is accused of sexual harassment for trying to kiss a boy.
In the end, it turns out that it was the other way around. But Marty's hit in his weak spot when the others talk about his mother's suicide. On the home front, Marty's personal life is further complicated by the reappearance of April, the stripper whom he had met in New York and who had led to Greg getting divorced.

Alternatively, he talks to the audience while everyone moves but the others seem oblivious to the fact that he is on a monologue.
The series is executive produced by Matthew Carnahan , Jessika Borsiczky, and Stephen Hopkins , with the pilot written by Carnahan and directed by Hopkins.
On December 13, , House of Lies was given a pilot order. Casting announcements began in December , with Don Cheadle as the first actor to be cast, as Marty Kaan, "a highly successful, cut-throat consultant who is never above using any means or anyone necessary to get his clients the information they want".
The next actor to be cast was Dawn Olivieri who plays Monica, "Marty's crazy, pill-popping ex-wife and biggest professional competition as her consulting firm is No.
On December 29, , Showtime presented "House of Lies Live" which featured members of the main cast and guest actors on the show performing at the UCB theatre in the first broadcast of long form improv.
Entertainment Weekly ' s Ken Tucker , reviewing the pilot episode, thought the show's premise "sounds terrific in concept", that "Cheadle and Bell are each in their own way exceedingly charming performers with a devilish aspect to their images", and that it has debuted at a good time: "at this time in history, who doesn't want to see undeservingly wealthy people get fleeced, or at least brought low by their avarice?
For Tucker, "there's no novelty or freshness in House of Lies' patter or its penis-placement" the latter comment being a reference to House of Lies' "butt-load of the sort of sexual activity one can get away with on pay-cable".
In stark contrast, Matt Rouch, writing for TV Guide , thought that "as a pitiless, biting satire of the debauched state of American big business, it's no lie to call this one of the smartest, funniest shows of the new year", praising its being "[d]eeply cynical, garish in its raunchiness and always rudely, lewdly hilarious".
It "swims in a shark tank of such appalling survival-of-the-nastiest bad behavior it could launch its own channel: Human Animal Planet". Where Tucker finds House of Lies ' lines and dialogue poor, Rouch praises Don Cheadle's character's lines: Cheadle's character "often steps out of a freeze-frame to deliver scathing stylized asides to the audience, talking straight to the camera to teach us his lingo and soulless trade secrets".
Sarah Huges of The Independent called House of Lies "A Comedy for the One Per Cent," saying it's a "half-hour comedy about wealthy slicksters screening right in the middle of one of the biggest economic depressions America has experienced.
