Synopsis:

A confessional tale of fatherhood that follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, suddenly finds himself in a stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into theirlives: "just says yes." Raising a curious six year-old boy and a rebellious teenaged boy from a previous marriage in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless and on the constant verge of disaster. United by unspoken love, conflicted by fierce feelings and in search of a road forward, the three multi-generational boys of the Warr household, father and sons alike, must each find their own way, however tenuous, to grow up. Their story is not just about the transforming power of a family crisis, but the unavoidable grace of everyday life and love that gets them through.
