A high-energy action-comedy that mines humor from the collision between domestic mundanity and escalating chaos, anchored by a father-son dynamic.

When out-of-work accountant Brian joins stay-at-home dad Jeff for a playdate with their sons, he expects a laid-back afternoon. Instead, they're chased by mercenaries, and Brian—totally unprepared—must survive one absurd obstacle after another.
