Malcolm Barrett, Michaela Conlin and Allison Guinn are set to star in the single-camera comedy pilot, about Dan (Barrett), "a loving, unrealistic father of two. His obsession with music has alienated the people he cares most about, namely his two amazing kids and his ex-wife. So, when he stumbles into playing music at his kid's 6th birthday (swapping out the inappropriate lyrics from his adult band for more kid-themed material) he finds a way to keep doing what he loves while also getting a second chance with his family." Conlin portrays Dan's ex-wife, Tara, "a playful, creative mom and refuses to be the cliché of a judgmental ex"; with Guinn as Nikki, "an impulsive daredevil, Nikki has been Dan's bandmate since college, sticking with him through thin, thinner and (present day) thinnest."
