A woman joins the Navy Seals despite tough opposition.

An ambitious father thinks nothing of using his own son to achieve his political goals in this adolescent comedy. The lonely boy has spent the last seven years tucked away and ignored by his parents, Senator Tom Morgan and his social-climbing wife Nancy, in a distant boarding school. As the story begins, he receives the news that once again they will be too busy to have him home for the holidays. But then, out of the blue, they change their minds and invite him home to stay there for good. The boy is elated, but soon learns the bitter truth: his father only brought him back because it is an election year and his campaign manager thought he might do better if the public saw him as more of a family man. The boy then decides that it is time some changes were made around the house and mayhem ensues.

After seven years in boarding school, teenager Morgan Stewart (Cryer) is coming home. He discovers it's not the happy home it once was, so he sets out to reform his social climbing, politically inclined parents and things get a little out of hand.
