Double Dad

In the charming coastal town of Haven’s Rest, thirteen-year-old Mia finds herself navigating the tumultuous waters of adolescence with an unusual twist: she has two dads. Tired of the same predictable routine, their annual summer fishing trip becomes the catalyst for a series of unexpected events that lead to a hilarious exploration of family dynamics.

Mia’s journey begins when she discovers an old family photo album in the attic, revealing a time when her two dads, Dylan and Erik, were just best friends chasing dreams. With her sass and creativity, Mia hatches a plan to rekindle their youthful spirit by inviting them to join her at the annual Haven’s Rest Father-Son Fishing Tournament. However, there’s a catch—Mia hasn’t told them it’s a competition.

Dylan, a charismatic free spirit who runs the local surf shop, and Erik, a meticulous architect, couldn’t be more different. Their contrasting styles become a source of hilarity and heartfelt moments when they reluctantly team up to tackle the tournament against other families, some of whom have not-so-subtle issues with Mia’s unique family situation. As the competition heats up, so do tensions between the dads, leading to comical mishaps and bonding moments that test their relationship.

Amidst the laughter, deeper themes of acceptance, identity, and the meaning of family emerge. Mia learns valuable life lessons about love and resilience while grappling with her longing for a “normal” family dynamic. The charming residents of Haven’s Rest, from the quirky fishermen to the wise old librarian, provide a colorful background that enriches her experience and offers wisdom in unexpected ways.

As the sun sets on the tournament’s final day, Mia devises a plan to unite her dads, highlighting the importance of team spirit and collaboration. Will they find a way to put their differences aside to become the ultimate fishing duo, or will the weight of societal expectations overshadow their chances? “Double Dad” weaves humor and heart into a story that celebrates the beauty of unconventional families, reminding us that love comes in many forms, and the bond of family knows no boundaries.
