- Summary
- Jack Lang's wife, Beth, leaves him and their six-year-old autistic son, Hendrick, to move in with Jack's best friend, Terry Canavan. Jack tells everyone in his life he's okay, but no one believes him, especially Canavan's estranged girlfriend Rena, who arrives on Jack's doorstep to see how, and whether, he's bearing up. When Jack starts letting Rena further into his life, and when Hendrick suddenly starts speaking fluent Spanish (stunning everyone); it becomes apparent to Jack that the world is far more complicated than he believed. As these characters change houses, partners, and perceptions, Hendrick emerges from his shell in unexpected and delightful ways and it appears he's parenting the confused grown-ups as often as they are him.--B.I.P
