Synopsis

In the heart of Los Angeles, a stubborn man named Matt, played by the beloved Tim Allen, finds his life turned upside down. As the owner of a classic car restoration shop, he has always had a singular focus—his work. However, everything changes when his estranged daughter, Riley (portrayed by Kat Dennings), and her two teenage children move back into his home. What unfolds is not just about fixing up old cars, but about mending broken family ties in a hilarious and heartfelt journey.

Riley returns to her childhood home, a place filled with memories and, unfortunately, unresolved issues. Having left years ago after a tumultuous relationship with her father, she now navigates the challenges of single motherhood while hoping for a fresh start. With her past resurfacing and family dynamics at play, the tension between father and daughter simmers just beneath the surface.

Packed with laughter, emotion, and a touch of nostalgia, “Shifting Gears” showcases the essence of family and the importance of connection. As Matt and Riley clash over parenting styles and life choices, both must learn to shift gears, realizing that understanding and compromise are key to building new roads together. Co-starring an ensemble cast including Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, Froy Gutierrez, and Seann William Scott, this production promises a delightful ride full of ups and downs, and plenty of laughs along the way.
