When Tom, a divorced father, travels across the country for a business trip, he visits his older son from his first marriage, Connor, and sees that he is doing well—or at least it appears that way. As he continues to spend time with Connor, Tom learns that Connor’s life without him might not be as great as Connor makes it seem. Meanwhile, at home, Tom’s younger son from his second marriage struggles to cope with his father’s absence. With both of his sons’ well-being at stake, Tom must readdress his approach to parenting and determine how best to raise both of his children.
