Sean is a divorced dad who juggles a lot — his successful but demanding career, offbeat employees, pushy mom, Lorna , and weekends with his teenage daughter, Ellie. So when his 14-year-old bundle of joy moves in full time, the parenting books come out in full force. From keeping his boss, Max, happy, employees motivated and enduring his mother’s tactless "advice" to raising a smart, grounded and healthy kid, it’s going to be a growing experience, to say the least. But if anyone can handle it all, it’s Sean.
