Directed by Luke Greenfield from a script written by Neil Goldman, the film centres around a stay-at-home dad who lands in trouble during a playdate (via Deadline).
“The film follows a down-on-his luck man, Brian (Kevin James), who was just fired from his job and becomes an unexpected stay-at-home dad to his 10-year-old son,” reads the official logline for the movie.

“On his first day, he accepts a playdate invitation from Jeff (Ritchson), another stay-at-home dad, who turns out to be an unexpected loose cannon. The two fathers and their sons spend the day on the run, facing a deadly conspiracy.”

Alan Tudyk (Moana), Stephen Root (Barry), Isla Fisher (Confessions of a Shopaholic), Sabrina Elba (Three Thousand Years Of Longing) and Hiro Kanagawa (Star Trek: Discovery) are among the stars set to feature in the upcoming film.
