Plot: After the sudden death of his second wife from pancreatic cancer, Australia's top sportswriter, Joe Warr, becomes the unprepared single father of his six-year-old son, Artie. Devastated, Joe--who has always been on the go covering major sports events--must now cope with the immediate responsibility of fatherhood, while, at the same time, he desperately avoids to confront his towering emotional anguish. As a result, Joe's solution to this sensitive problem is a "yes-to-all" approach; however, when Harry, his estranged teenage son from his first marriage, comes to visit, inevitably, Joe will have to deal not only with his grief, but also with the fact that he needs to be a full-time dad, probably, for the first time in his life. Can Joe live up to his sons' expectations?
Alternative Plot: After the untimely passing of his second wife, Joe (Clive Owen) must deal with his grief as he strives to find a way to raise his sons alone. The boys, Artie and Harry, are trying to cope with their own emotional baggage, so the three decide to throw convention to the wind and live by the words "just say yes." When things go wrong, Joe must find a way to behave more like a parent while maintaining the joys of a more-carefree life.
