In an effort to bond for the sake of Branson, their 13-year-old son, Jim and Dave, a dad and a step-dad, spend a weekend in a cabin upstate together with their shared kid. However, tensions start to mount as differing parenting techniques come to the fore.

The loony spirit of the Martin Short classic Clifford lives on in this irresistible comedy from director Tynan DeLong. Kicking off with a passive-aggressive battle of wills between the titular carers, Dad & Step-Dad modulates its incorrigible silliness with poignant reflections on the modern family.
