Will Lightman is in his thirties and living off the royalties of a famous Christmas song his father wrote. He decides to pose as a single father and attend weekly SPAT (Single Parents Alone Together) meetings in the hope of finding his dream woman. His plan unravels when he accidentally encounters Marcus, a quiet bookish boy and son of Fiona, a fellow SPAT member who attempts suicide to escape the pain of a recent divorce. Will and Marcus are thrown together. They grow, change and for Will, mature.
