Peter (Hugh Jackman) is a successful Manhattan lawyer attempting to balance his chaotic life with his second wife and their newborn child. Past and present collide when his ex-wife Kate (Laura Dern) shows up – with their deeply troubled 17-year-old Nicholas son in tow. Peter strives to take care of Nicholas as he would have wanted his own father (Anthony Hopkins) to have taken care of him, but Nicholas’s emotional turmoil proves to be a greater, and far more painful, struggle than he anticipated.
