The series revolves around polygamist protagonist Bill Henrickson (Bill Paxton), his three wives: Barb (the legal wife/first wife), Nicki (the second wife) and Margene (the third wife), and their extended family of seven children. The series is set in Sandy, Utah (a suburb of Salt Lake City), but it is filmed mostly in California at the Brandeis-Bardin Institute in Simi Valley.

HBO has taken pains to state that the family portrayed in the series is not part of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which suspended the practice of polygamy in 1890. The writers portray the family's religion as a fundamentalist splinter group that actually keeps their lifestyle secret from their LDS neighbors. The fictional group in which Bill was raised bears more than a few similarities to the real-life Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and the Kingston Clan, including assigned polygymous marriages, church ownership of all residential property, and routine expulsion of teenage boys for seemingly minor and arbitrary offenses. However, the LDS church has expressed its worry that this distinction will be lost on the series' viewers in spite of the disclaimers.[3]. Some claim the LDS church fears that the show will draw attention to the similarities of the polygamists in the show to the LDS church's own practices during the 1835-1918 period in which polygamy was practiced by LDS members
