Check out what happened in First Kid!

In a peculiar assignment that defies his personal preferences, Secret Service agent Sam Simms (character) is tasked by his superior, Wilkes, with safeguarding President Paul Davenport's wayward 13-year-old son, Luke Davenport. The catalyst for this unconventional duty stems from Luke's rebellious behavior, which ultimately leads to the replacement of agent Woods, who had mistreated the young boy in front of the media cameras. Simms views this assignment as a professional stepping stone, rather than a personal affront, but his initial attempts to connect with Luke prove fruitless.

As Simms struggles to find common ground with the troubled teenager, Luke's predicament worsens when he is mercilessly pummeled by the school bully, Rob. Despite being the victim, Luke is punished by his parents for starting the altercation, further exacerbating his emotional distress. Sensing an opportunity to forge a bond with the boy, Simms - a former boxer himself - begins to empathize with Luke's plight, recognizing parallels between their own adolescent struggles.

Simms' paternal instincts are piqued when he discovers that Luke has been agonizing over asking Katie to the school dance. With the help of his Secret Service counterpart, Simms coaches Luke through the nuances of social navigation, and the young boy eventually finds the courage to ask Katie out. However, this tender moment is short-lived, as the Secret Service director, Morton, issues an emergency lockdown order due to a suspicious duffel bag left unattended outside the main entrance.

In a brazen display of defiance, Simms decides to disregard protocol and takes Luke to the dance, where they are met with a surprise attack by Rob. However, this time, Luke proves himself capable of defending his friend, much to Simms' pride. The consequences of their disobedience prove severe, as Simms is subsequently fired and forbidden from interacting with Luke.

Crushed by Simms' perceived abandonment, Luke turns to an online acquaintance, Mongoose12, who offers him advice on how to escape the White House and meet up at a local mall. Little does Luke know that Mongoose12 is actually former agent Woods, who has been plotting his revenge. As Luke goes missing, Simms is given a second chance to redeem himself by protecting the young boy. With the aid of his friend and former colleague, Harold (a paraplegic owner of a spy shop), Simms quickly tracks Luke down to the mall, setting the stage for a thrilling reunion.

As the tense standoff between Woods and Simms unfolds, it becomes clear that Woods' original intentions have taken a deadly turn. Initially planning to return Luke to the President, allowing him to bask in heroism and reclaim his job, Woods now seeks to exact revenge on Luke for perceived slights that have led to his professional downfall - and even the loss of his wife's affections. With a cold calculation, Woods raises his gun to take out Simms, but the seasoned agent is one step ahead, using cover to evade the bullets before pouncing on Woods with a swift right uppercut. As reinforcements arrive, Woods attempts to use a backup revolver to strike down Luke, only for Simms to intervene once more, placing himself between Luke and the hail of gunfire - resulting in a bullet wound to his arm. Meanwhile, the chaos escalates, and Woods is ultimately subdued, arrested, and charged with a laundry list of offenses: abduction, assault, discharging a firearm in a public place without authorization, and attempted murder.

In the aftermath, Simms is presented with an opportunity to take on Presidential duty, but he declines, opting instead to remain by Luke's side full-time. This decision allows him to nurture his blossoming romantic connection with Luke's biology teacher, further solidifying their bond as they navigate this complex web of relationships and responsibilities together.
