About

Sam, a neurodivergent man, has a daughter with a homeless woman who abandons them when they leave the hospital, leaving Sam to raise Lucy on his own. But as Lucy grows up, Sam's limitations as a parent start to become a problem and the authorities take her away. Sam convinces high-priced lawyer Rita to take his case pro bono and in turn teaches her the value of love and family.
This unconventional drama swaps typical parental perfection for the raw, rhythmic devotion of a father navigating a world built for different minds. While the legal battle intensifies, the real heart lies in the fierce, uncomplicated bond between a man and his daughter.
