The story primarily focuses on young Carly (Anne Winters) and Josh (Zackary Arthur), who must fend off the serious and deadly attacks from their dad, Brent (Nicolas Cage) and mom, Kendall (Selma Blair), over a disturbing 24 hour time period.
Written and directed by Brian Taylor – whose credits include the Crank movies and Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance – Mom and Dad centers on the Ryan family, an ordinary suburban clan dealing with everyday issues.
Those everyday issues quickly turn into extraordinary issues, however, when a mysterious mass hysteria begins that sees parents violently turning against their kids and trying to straight up murder them.
Will they successfully survive the onslaught without needing to kill their attackers?
