When clever pre-teens Oliver and Sass create a new product that attracts the interest of a mysterious investor, the boys must secretly hire Oliver’s father to run their business.

13-year-old Oliver and Sass make a nose-shaped glasses holder, which attracts the interest of a mysterious major investor. At the same time, Oliver’s recently laid off father is struggling to find a new job. The boys are too young to run their business themselves, so Oliver hatches a plan to kill two birds with one stone: they hire Oliver’s dad to run their business and save his parents’ rocky marriage! The trick is that Oliver’s father doesn’t know that he works for his son and son’s friend. A fast-paced duplicitous game unfolds and escalates when the boys find out what their mysterious investor is really up to.
