The Daddy Diaries

Jay and Jackie uproot their family from San Francisco after Jackie loses her job but finds a lucrative new one in St. Petersburg, Florida.

As his children begin to assert their independence, Jay realizes that the challenges of child rearing are only going to grow more difficult in the teen years. Through a series of misadventures and run-ins with his narcissistic older brother, his lunatic childhood friend, and his increasingly estranged but beloved son, Jay learns that he must tap his own vulnerabilities if he is to be the rock of stability his family so desperately needs.
