But her life takes an unexpected turn when her estranged father of 10 years, Ray (David Wilmot, Calvary) shows up on her doorstep wanting to re-connect with his daughter and ex-wife. Causing chaos and upheaval with every day he stays, Ray learns that being a father again isn't as simple as he first thought.
