After writing a hit song, Will Freeman (David Walton) was granted a life of free time, free love and freedom from financial woes. He's single, unemployed and loving it. So imagine his surprise when Fiona (Minnie Driver), a needy single mum and her oddly charming 11-year-old son, Marcus (Benjamin Stockham), move in next door and disrupt his perfect world. Before he realises it, Will starts to enjoy the visits and even finds himself looking out for the boy. In fact, this newfound friendship may very well teach him a thing or two that he never imagined possible--about himself and caring for others.
