故事发生在英国，丹尼（维尼·琼斯 Vinnie Jones 饰）是一名风头正劲的球星，成功的事业、丰厚的收入、漂亮的女友，丹尼所拥有的一切令他成为了众人羡慕的对象。然而，在一场意外中，丹尼因为醉酒闹事而被投入了监狱，这不仅意味着他将错过一场对于自己来说十分重要的比赛，更意味着，他将失去生活中曾经拥有的一切。
　　监狱里有一支由狱警们所组成的足球队，一天，典狱长（戴维·海明斯 David Hemmings 饰）找到了心灰意冷的丹尼，希望他能够成为球队的代理教练，帮助球队获得季度比赛的冠军。然而，丹尼却提出了一个令典狱长惊讶的要求，他希望亲自挑选犯人，重组球队。

　　The show follows Gemma (Aimee Lou Wood), who lives for the weekend when she can get blasted and party hard in Stockport, Manchester. But after joining the mile high club with a random hook-up on her way back from a holiday to Portugal, she's pregnant, and it couldn't come at a worse time.
　　The only person Gemma has left in her life is her dad Malcolm (David Morrissey), who is kind hearted but useless – he can't load a washing machine, boil an egg or change the Wi-Fi password. Malcolm is suffering from the collapse of his family and living in a bedsit for divorced men.
　　Which is how Gemma and her dad end up living in Gemma's flat. She needs support at a critical time in a woman's life, he needs help microwaving rice without it exploding.
　　At its heart Daddy Issues is a classic odd couple comedy about two funny, deeply flawed characters, who just happen to be father and daughter. Along the way there will be dating disasters and failed romances, toxic friendships and messy family dynamics, plus a dangerously sociopathic antenatal teacher.
