The trailer shows Hannah taking on the assignment and proving she is tougher than she looks. When she accompanies Jack home for the holidays, he asks her to pretend to be his girlfriend so his mother (Andie MacDowell) won’t worry about the danger he is in—or why he needs a bodyguard.

The cast also includes Walker Hayes, Toby Sandeman, Noah LaLonde and CM Punk. It will premiere on the streaming service Nov. 18.
