Zudem erfüllen ihn weder sein Job noch sein Glaube. Er trifft die Entscheidung, dass er ein professioneller YouTube-Komödiant werden will. Doch seine Videos werden kaum geklickt. Das ändert sich, als sein Sohn postet, wie Ben bei einem Heimwerkerprojekt kläglich scheitert. Sofort wird der Clip millionenfach geklickt. Doch Ben fühlt sich noch immer leer und spürt, dass in seinem Leben etwas fehlt. Erst als er entscheidet, seinen Glauben ernst zu nehmen, nach der Bibel zu leben und das auf YouTube zu dokumentieren, ändert sich alles im Leben des 'Selfie Dad' zum Guten, und zwar nicht nur für ihn.
Spiraling into a mid-life crisis and feeling disconnected from his family, Ben Marcus, a reality-TV editor, thinks he can only be happy by fulfilling his dream of becoming a professional comedian. Ben posts his stand-up routines to YouTube, and the videos fall flat. Then his tweener son posts Ben miserably failing on a home improvement project, and much to his teenage daughter’s dismay, it goes viral, launching Ben's social-media career as Selfie Dad. Although he quickly becomes an award-winning phenom, no amount of success brings Ben satisfaction. Through his friendship with a young coworker, Mickey, Ben finds the secret to a happy family . . . with his Bible in one hand, and his phone in the other.
