An offbeat, laugh track-lacking sitcom about a bizarrely dysfunctional family, the center of which is Malcolm, the middle of the two brothers who still live at home. His eldest (and favorite) sibling, Francis, boards at military school because his parents believe it will reform him and keep him out of trouble. Malcolm often has a hard time coping with his family life, but he has more troubles to contend with when he starts receiving special treatment at school after being diagnosed as an intellectually advanced genius.
这部昔日的CBS旗舰剧集已经失去了一个好汉（Charlie Sheen被开除，Charlie Harper也随之死亡），现在又将失去半个好汉——因为种种原因（如果你相信CBS官方所说的「他要读大学」那你就太天真了），Angus T. Jones不再是该剧的常规演员，他的名字也将从片头字幕中彻底抹除。
新郎亨利（克里斯托弗•高哈姆 Christopher Gorham 饰）和新娘翠西（凯蒂•卡西迪 Katie Cassidy 饰）准备在哈珀岛上举办婚礼，亨利的好友艾比（伊莲•卡西迪 Elaine Cassidy 饰）应邀前往。但是，启程时船底却有人被绞死，大家均不知情，这为旅程蒙上了阴影。7年前，岛上曾发生过连环杀人案，艾比之母遇害，后来，凶手被艾比之父查理击毙，但艾比心有余悸。回到岛上，艾比见到了昔日恋人吉米和查理，冰释前嫌。新娘翠西一直被前男友骚扰，后者还跟其父暗中勾结，这个秘密被亨利的叔叔马迪意外发现了，然而他却因此丧命。从此，岛上再不平静，亲友一个个惨遭毒手，婚礼竟然演变成了杀人游戏…… 本片宣传语为“13个星期，25个嫌疑人，1个凶手。”，于2009年4月9日--2009年7月12日在CBS电视台播出。
