The Ex

A man loses his career cushion when fatherhood arrives and must re-enter the workforce by joining his father-in-law's firm. Things escalate when he finds himself locked in a tense professional feud with his wife's ex, who happens to be the company’s paraplegic golden boy. It's less workplace comedy and more workplace awkwardness.
