A lighthearted buddy-cop comedy where a gruff detective's stakeout is upended by an enthusiastic civilian family, prioritizing laughs and heart over genuine threat.

When the police discover that a mob hitman has moved in next door to the Robbersons, they set up a stakeout in the Robbersons' home. Hard-nosed, tough-as-nails Jake Stone and his young partner Tony Moore are assigned to the stakeout, but now it is a question of whether Jake can last long enough to capture the bad guys. The Robbersons want to help, and by doing so, drive Jake crazy.
