Season 11 kicks off in Chatsworth, the working-class suburb of Manchester where the Maguires celebrate their business growing. Mimi has taken control of the school through the PTA, while Jamie steps away from the company after uncovering a secret about his family tree. Kassi, Jamie's stepbrother, is arrested, and his family, the Blancos, moves in next door to the Maguires. Kelly and Marty buy a house with suspicious money, and Patreesha gets excited about a supposed jazz musician. Frank, still without a steady job, keeps looking after his children, and Lip returns to the area with his daughter Katie. The tangled lives of characters who survive with resourcefulness and humor set the pace of the season.

It's a grand occasion as the residents of Chatsworth celebrate being awarded an Olympic ring from London 2012. The Maguires toast the expansion of their empire: Mimi's hijacked control of the local school via the PTA and Shane's setting up a new business venture. Business is booming, but the family is thrown into turmoil when Jamie makes a shocking discovery about his family tree and withdraws from the firm. Can Mimi persuade Jamie to return as head of the family before all is lost or will a shocking secret tear Chatsworth's leading family apart? Meanwhile, Frank finds himself climbing the employment ladder as janitor of 'St Mimi's School', conveniently funding his new leisure activity - the Gastric Bandits, a prostitute double act with Sherrilee and Derrilee, who light up his life.
