Overview

Mike Jones has been a bachelor for a long time, and he barely remembers what it feels like to have someone else depend on him. He works as a freelance photographer at the Weekly Post, but he's not necessarily impassioned by his job. He wakes each morning and goes about the day-to-day, ignorant of the big surprise that's about to land on his porch.

His long-ago ex-girlfriend Lindsey arrives one morning with a gift: a ten-year-old son named Jeremy. She's been raising Jeremy on her own, but now, it's time for his father to take a turn. Mike feels cornered, angry, and terrified. He's always been kind of a hothead, and a son is the last thing he needs-or wants. Jeremy isn't exactly clear on the new arrangement either.

Despite a rough start, father and son get to know each other. Mike reexamines his selfish life and considers a career change. He even looks at Lindsey in a different way. How much can one man change? How much can he alter his life without it falling apart? Mike will find out as he learns a thing or two from a little boy and discovers that family might be the most important thing of all.
