Aidan Bloom, a struggling actor, father and husband, is 35 years old and still trying to find a purpose for his life.

When his ailing father can no longer afford to pay for private school for his two kids and the only available public school is on its last legs, Aidan reluctantly agrees to attempt to home-school them.
