Story

A U.S. Navy SEAL named Shane Wolfe (Vin Diesel) is assigned to protect the Plummer children from enemies of their recently deceased father, a scientist who had created a top-secret weapon for the government (GHOST), and then hid the device in his garage. Wolfe must take care of the children while their mother is in Switzerland, retrieving the key to find the device. Much of the comedy is based on the contrast between Wolfe\'s military background and the travails of his rebellious suburban brood.
