Storyline:
Jack Kincaid is The Guard, a superhero chosen by an alien artifact to inherit its powers and save the world. Still, his hero duties cause him to neglect his parental duties to his son Charlie, driving a wedge between them. When Charlie stays at Jack’s house for his birthday, he invites his friends Berger, Lizzie, and Maya over, where they find Jack’s underground lair and discover his secret identity. Meanwhile, a weapons CEO named Ansel Argon wants to use The Guard’s power source for his sinister schemes.
After the kids use Jack’s gadgets, Argon’s head mercenary, Sean Irons, brings his team to track down the power source. The kids fight back, and Jack manages to arrive just in time, but when Berger sends the source through a portal connected to his locker at school, Argon uses one of Jack’s gadgets to get his suit and kidnaps Berger to find the source. Charlie leads his friends, plus Irons, to get their gadgets to fight back. The showdown occurs during the school dance, ending with Charlie sending Argon through a portal to another dimension with a grenade. He ends up dancing with Maya and kissing her. Charlie ends up joining Jack so they can fight crime together.
