Plot

Whisked away from an orphanage by unsuspecting parents-to-be, seven-year-old Junior is anything but a dream come true. An incorrigible imp with a wicked streak, Junior has seen the inside of thirty foster homes, each one proving no match for his mischievous antics. Now, he's found his latest victims, the well-meaning Ben Healy and his flashy wife, Flo, who are eager to embrace the joys of parenthood. Yet, Ben's dreams of fatherhood soon turn into comic nightmares as Junior's true nature unravels. Day-to-day life becomes a chaotic whirlwind, as Junior's mean-spirited pranks leave a trail of destruction in their wake. Even Big Ben, the discerning grandfather, is quick to call out the boy's devilish demeanor, questioning the decision to adopt. Adding to the pandemonium, Junior forms an unlikely correspondence with his idol, Martin Beck - the Bow Tie Killer. A notorious serial killer, Beck shares Junior's penchant for bow ties and chaos. When Junior's admiration culminates in his and Flo's kidnapping, it's up to Ben to embark on a daring rescue mission. "Problem Child" is a wild ride into the world of a not-so-innocent orphan, whose shockingly disruptive behavior turns a hopeful couple's life upside down. Will Ben manage to save his wife and adopted son before it's too late, or will Junior's reign of terror prove too much for this aspiring father? Tune in to witness an ordinary man's desperate struggle against extraordinary circumstances.
