The film is a low-budget US-made comedy-drama centered on Patrick, a surly war veteran and wheelchair user who unexpectedly learns he fathered a four-year-old girl, Camilla. Social workers inform him of her mother’s death and the limited care options, prompting Patrick to agree to take her in for financial support. Patrick struggles with alcoholism, social awkwardness, and parenting inexperience, while receiving help from a furniture store assistant, Anna, and his neighbor Robert, another disabled man. When Patrick doubts his abilities, he and Robert drive across country to deliver Camilla to her grandparents, yielding road-movie clichés despite sincere performances.
This low-budget, US-made comedy-drama is full of sincerity and good intentions but that doesn't quite get off the hook for its egregious sentimentality and copious cliches. But the well-directed (though somewhat artless) performances and competent assembly make it palatable enough to pass the time, especially if you have a particular interest in stories about living with a disability. The protagonist is surly war veteran and wheelchair-user Patrick (Tobias Forrest, who uses a wheelchair in real life).
One day, a pair of social workers show up and inform Patrick that he's the father of a four-year-old girl, Camilla (Victoria Scott, adorable), who he never knew existed. Her mother has just died from cancer, and Camilla's options are limited to either staying with Patrick (her upkeep will be paid for by a life insurance policy that kicks out $4k a month), moving in with her grandparents on the other side of the country, or going into foster care.
Patrick agrees to take in his daughter, but of course he has a learning curve as steep and smooth as a shard of glass. As luck would have it, comely children's furniture store assistant Anna (Abigail Hawk) is keen to offer some pointers, although her attraction to Patrick seems a little unfeasible given how grumpy and bad at sexting he is.
