When a single mother passes away, her children's three absent fathers must move in together to raise the children as a family, leaving…
...a down-on-his-luck gambling addict to find a way to provide his rebellious teenage daughter the stability she needs.
...a hot-headed man’s man to accept his teenage son’s homosexuality.
…and a serial womaniser to finally grow up and be the father his young daughter longs for.
But will their kids ever accept these men as the fathers they’ve never had?
With social services, loan sharks, and old habits always lurking, will this new, unconventional family fail as everyone expects…
Or can these men save their children from going off the rails and repeating their own mistakes?
Will they become the fathers their children need them to be?
