Monty (Elba) struggles to make ends meet as he raises his three young daughters on his own. But when the courts award custody to his corrupt, drug-dealing ex-wife, he desperately tries to win them back, enlisting the help of Julia (Union), a beautiful but hard-nosed attorney. Unlikely as it seems, an unexpected romance blossoms between the two. But in order for their relationship to survive, the couple must reconcile their two very different worlds – and overcome the forces that threaten to tear Monty’s family apart.
