A warm-hearted romantic comedy about a widowed father learning to navigate single parenthood with the help of an unconventional nanny, balancing grief with hope and new connection.

Jack always lands on his feet. He lands on his feet when he marries the beautiful Sarah. He lands on his feet when he buys a luxurious new home. However, when Sarah goes into labour, he takes a tumble down the stairs and lands on his head. When he comes around he discovers he is the proud father of a baby girl, but deficient in the spouse department to the tune of 1.
