Spoilers ahead
Doug Kinney, portrayed by Michael Keaton, is a hardworking construction employee based in Los Angeles, who faces continual challenges as his job increasingly intrudes upon his family life. His coworker Vic, played by Eugene Levy, constantly bungles tasks, putting immense pressure on Doug, both financially and emotionally. As a result, Ted Gray, Doug’s boss and played by John de Lancie, imposes grueling hours upon him, forcing him to work nights and weekends to rectify Vic’s blunders. This leaves little room for Doug to maintain harmony at home or pursue his own interests, as his wife Laura, portrayed by Andie MacDowell, grows frustrated with the situation, yearning to revive her career in real estate.
