Jack Kincaid is an ordinary human man who lives with his wife Lily and their 4-year-old son Charlie. One night, while they're on a camping trip, something falls from the sky. Jack goes to check it out. He finds an unknown ship and it gives him a kind of sphere that grants him superpowers. Over time, he uses these powers to help people around the world and is dubbed "The Guard", but his hero duties cause him to neglect his parental duties to Charlie, driving a wedge between them, and causing him and Lily to divorce. 10 years later, when Charlie stays at Jack's house for his 14th birthday, he invites his best friend Barry Berger (with his older brother "Big Mac" Berger), his crush Maya Monroe, and her best friend Lizzie McGonagall over, where they find Jack's underground lair and find out his secret identity. Meanwhile, weapons CEO 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 against them, 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 a reformed Irons, to get their gadgets to fight back. The showdown takes place 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, while Irons ends up becoming Jack's mission control.
