Synopsis

A compelling drama that explores the different meanings of being a parent through the gritty, realistic lives of the struggling, blue-collar Porter's, and the privileged Campbell family. Their lives intersect, intertwine and collide, all for the love of a little boy. This film bravely exposes the humanity in each character reminding us that we each have the potential to be the best and worst versions of ourselves at any time.

"An on-the-nose though cathartically emotional melodrama giving Mira Sorvino her most substantial bigscreen role in years and featuring a head-turning performance by Barry Pepper."

Robert Koehler: Variety
"A well-acted, earnest film about adoptive parents' worst nightmare, dealing sympathetically with all parties in a lose-lose situation."

Michael Ordoña: Los Angeles Times
"For those who like this genre of film, this one executes the formula very well."

Neil Genzlinger: The New York Times
"Familiar adoption drama is enhanced by complex characters and credible situations."
