Comedy about a hapless house husband trying to cope with his mid-life crisis and doubting his every move.

Hal, married to Sam, is the father to two lovely girls. The problem is that, as Sam's career blossoms internationally, and daughters Lilly and Molly grow up and are no longer dependent on their loving and caring father, Hal feels restless.

Having decided to give up his career and be a house husband many years ago, the appeal of being around his family more is wearing thin. So with the help of his ever unreliable mates Doug, Fergus and Barry, Hal decides to try new things in his life, but inevitably things don't go to plan!

Further challenges come from Hal's now deceased father, who was a true adventurer and all-round hero (something his son sadly is not) and is starting to appear to Hal at the most inopportune times to give unwelcome advice.
