Nate Wilcox is the star employee at a car dealership, while his wife, Katie, stays home caring for their three daughters, Gracie, Hadley and Sam. The family's balance is upended when Katie appears on the TV show Shark Tank and closes a deal to produce the Star Minder, an invention of her own designed for their little girls. Getting the project off the ground requires the mother to travel to South Korea for two weeks. With her sudden absence, Nate is forced to request a leave of absence from work to take on full-time household duties and raising the girls.
