Professional underachiever Dan Foster is finally taking a break. Sure, his life has been average at best and, yes, he has never has quite lived up to his potential. But after a few Bud Lights in paradise with his girlfriend Mara, things are starting to look up.

Led by a fitness influencer turned ruthless dictator, martial law is declared and the hoi polloi are press-ganged into service.
