BAD NEWS DADS
by Adam Frost

(via Sterlin gLord Literistic)
The Bad News Dads are a recreational baseball team in Los Angeles—a terrible one, made up of a bunch of 40-something dads, several of them of the stay-at-home variety. Tired of the constant grind of packing lunches and coordinating school pick-ups, the team’s catcher, Ben, is looking for some action. When a teammate’s wife dies tragically, Ben and his two closest friends decide that something fishy has happened, and they blithely take it upon themselves to solve what they’re sure is a murder. But can they fall down the dark rabbit hole of a murder investigation without ruining their home lives? Without ruining their friendships? And without getting killed themselves?
Adam Frost was born in Vancouver, Canada. He is a writer, actor, and director known for Castle (2009), Extreme Movie (2008) and Tribal (2020).
