Plot

In the heart of Detroit's suburban bliss resides the Butler family, led by the affable family man and automotive engineer, Jack, and his loving wife, Caroline. Their world orbits around their three kids Alex, Kenny, and Megan, and the distinct roles they've comfortably nestled into. Jack, with his friends Stan and Larry, commutes in a carpool to the automobile factory alongside their boss, Jinx, while Caroline manages the domestic fortress and their children's needs. Suddenly, their harmonious world takes an unexpected detour when Jack finds himself jobless. As the family's financial stability trembles, Caroline dusts off her dormant advertising skills and steps into the corporate world at an advertising agency owned by the charismatic Ron Richardson. Displaying a surprising knack for the industry, she quickly ascends the corporate ladder, juggling high-stakes accounts and increasing responsibilities. Simultaneously, Jack trades his blueprints for dishcloths, stepping into the uncharted territory of stay-at-home fatherhood. His once predictable life is replaced by the unfamiliar chaos of household chores, school runs, and playdates. Amidst the onslaught of domestic duties, Jack grapples with the challenges and rewards of his new role as Mr. Mum. As Caroline's career soars and Jack navigates the minefield of home life, both face external threats. Caroline's success attracts the unwelcome advances of lustful bosses, while Jack finds himself fending off the attention of amorous neighbours. Their once serene lives become a whirlwind of boardroom battles and laundry loads, testing their resilience and commitment to their roles and each other. Will Jack successfully transition into Mr. Mum and maintain the household harmony? Can Caroline balance her skyrocketing career without compromising her family's happiness? In this heartwarming tale of role reversals, the Butlers are about to find out if they can make it work and redefine the modern family.
