On a remote farm in the hills of Tennessee, Toby and Brenda Willis are raising their supersized family to have supersized talent. In between home schooling, hunting, horses and sports, their 12 children somehow manage to write and record songs, choreograph dance routines, make their own costumes and perform to crowds across the country. The Willis children have won regional and national dance titles and placed in world competitions for both music and dance. Their extraordinary talents aren't limited to the stage...the boys have also won state titles in all forms of wrestling. Obviously, this is a family who works hard to achieve their goals...and then supersede them. In this pilot episode of "The Willis Clan", four of the children (Jen, Jeremiah, Jasmine & Jackson) are preparing for a major dance competition in Tampa, FL that is only days away. Problem is...the older ones (Jen & Jair) aren't ready. Their parents, Toby and Brenda, devise a plan that requires the kids to write and record a brand new song ...and that means their long rehearsed dance routine has to change as well! Stress sets in, but life still goes on in the Willis home as a young man interested in dating Jessica (the oldest child) stops by. Michael, the young suitor, is suddenly faced with the challenge of wrestling her dad, Toby...a requirement of anyone interested in dating his daughters. Meanwhile, the younger ones (Jas and Jackson) prepare for their DANCE routine in Tampa. The Willis Clan is about to face their toughest challenge yet. Question is, can they conquer a feat some would deem impossible? One might say...where there's a Willis there's a way, but this may be the time that proves otherwise.
