When you're a 22-year-old ex-commando from the British Special Forces, how can you channel the thrill of combat into your next career? How about defending your life against three Beverly Hills rich kids? That's exactly what happened to megaproducer Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Apprentice) when he first ventured to the West Coast from the British Army Parachute Regiment. Now, Mark brings his unique experience to The WB in a new comedy. Meet Miles Ross, the young commando whose new barracks are the guest room of a Beverly Hills mansion. Tycoon Ben Winter (Gerald McRaney) has no intention of hiring the young soldier, but Ben's new, younger wife Lizzie sees something in Miles, and offers him a challenging new mission: Monitoring Seth, a 5-year-old in desperate need of attention. Accepting what he intends to be a short-term nanny position, Miles becomes an army of one as he and Ben battle in a daily test of wills. Complicating the agenda are Seth's older siblings. Katie, a very mature teenager, flirts with Miles while plotting behind his back with her surly brother Steven to drive the new recruit AWOL.

And resident lothario Uncle Eddie is dishing out bad advice while emptying the fridge.
