Dan Foreman (Dennis Quaid) is a veteran ad executive whose job is upended when a corporate merger installs a younger, aggressive recruit at the top. As Dan negotiates layoffs, navigates a strained relationship with his daughter, and faces the dizzying pace of modern business, he forms an uneasy bond with his new boss. With wit and warmth, the film probes ambition, loyalty, and what family means when the workplace is turned upside down, supported by Johansson and Grace.
