Well, you start a campaign and can play through alone if you'd like. At any time someone locally or up to 3 others on LIVE can join your game. If someone joins your game, they choose from one of your characters. The loot and advancement that you or someone else gives to those characters, stays with those characters in your game. If the character hasn't been played in a while, they automatically level up to match you. They can't take that character or any of the loot back to their local game. They can start their own local game and you can join in and help them out but again, it's their game and plotline now and you are a side kick for the most part.
I think the MP works great. You don't want someone joining your game and fucking up your storyline but it's nice to have some friends around for the really tough fights. (Nothing is REALLY tough on normal level. You need to run it on hardcore for a real challenge).
