PlotHarry Tasker leads a double life. To his wife Helen and daughter Dana, he is a boring computer salesman.

His latest mission involves tracking down stolen nuclear weapons in the possession of a jihadist militant group, led by the ruthless Salim Abu Aziz. Harry's pursuit of the terrorists takes him from Switzerland to Florida, all while keeping his dangerous job a secret from his family, who believe he's on business trips.
Meanwhile, Helen grows bored with her mundane life and seeks excitement, unaware of her husband's true profession. When Harry discovers Helen is involved in what appears to be an affair, he uses government resources to learn more, leading to a series of misunderstandings.
