Synopsis
The Baker family is a happy and large family with 12 children who reside in Midland, Indiana. One day Tom Baker gets an offer for his dream job: Become the coach of the Stallions. Tom returns home with the new job and promotion in the urban, near-north Chicago suburb of Evanston, Illinois with education advantages and a new vehicle; although Kate approves, his children overhear and object to his proposed actions in a family conference. Even though the children vote about what they would rather do, Tom decides to accept the job and move to the city, many miles away from their current countryside home. One day, aspiring author Kate receives a call, telling her that her new book is perfect and she should go on a promotion tour, so she makes the decision to leave, and leaves her husband alone with the 12 children. Problems soon erupt, but everything comes to a halt when, after being grounded, the Baker kids sneak out and wreck their friend's birthday party. Kate ends the book tour and returns home, angry at Tom for not telling her that he could not handle it. The state of the family's condition seriously comes to light after Kate discovers a disturbing note on Mark's bed and Mark has gone missing. The family begins searching, but after calling the police, Tom realizes that Mark's favorite place has always been the Midland house, and frantically makes his way to the railway station. He soon finds Mark, on a train heading towards Midland. They ride the train together to Midland and are greeted by the family at the railway station the next morning. They apologize to each other and Tom decides to quit his football career to find a job which would provide more time for him to spend with his family. While they return to the city and begin to adjust to their new life, Kate's book is published and stays at number one on the bestseller's list for 12 months.
