A stay-at-home dad, along with two buddies from his luckless recreational baseball team, band together to solve a potential murder amongst their squad—all while trying to stay out of trouble with their wives and, someday, someday win a game. Batter up!

The Bad News Dads are a recreational baseball team in Los Angeles—a luckless one, made up of a bunch of forty-something dads, several of them of the stay-at-home variety. Tired of the constant grind of packing lunches and coordinating school pick-ups, the team’s catcher, Ben, is looking for some action. When a teammate’s wife dies tragically, Ben and his two closest friends decide that something fishy might have happened, and blithely take it upon themselves to solve what they’re sure is a murder. But can they fall down the dark rabbit hole of a murder investigation without destroying their home lives? Without ruining their friendships? And without getting killed themselves?
