Russell Green leads a seemingly perfect life in Charlotte, North Carolina, with a high-paying advertising career, a beautiful wife, Vivian, and a young daughter named London. This stability shatters when Russell quits his job to start an independent agency, leading to immediate financial strain and the sudden collapse of his marriage. As Vivian returns to the workforce and moves away, Russell becomes a single parent. He must navigate the daily logistics of childcare, manage his failing business venture, and lean on his sister, Marge, for emotional support during a period of professional and personal loss.
