Katie Kilroy has the most important date of her life lined up with a gorgeous lifeguard—but first she needs to take a bath, and the family bathtub has become the center of a comedic catastrophe. Between her brother using it to clean car parts in gasoline, her father accidentally soaking in the mess, a plumber commandeering it for his own wash-up, and everyone's plans colliding in chaos, Katie finds herself locked out of her own bathroom with her big date looming. Will she finally get her bubble bath in time, or will the Kilroy family's bathroom wars derail her evening entirely?
