Heinie Goochems

SUMMARY

​Junior is a stay-at-home dad grappling with questions about what it means to be a man in today’s world. His wife, Kelly, the breadwinner in the family, wants another baby. Then there is Stephanie, Junior’s recently widowed neighbor, who has decided to pursue him as her boy-toy. Stephanie’s son, George, develops a crush on the babysitter hired by Junior and Kelly – a senior in high school struggling with her social network. Meanwhile, their tenant, Carl, seems to be growing something in the basement. When a handsome concierge veterinarian shows up to perform a procedure on the family cat, things don’t go quite as expected.
