The film premiered in Los Angeles on October 8, 2024, and was released on October 18, 2024 in the United States by Ketchup Entertainment.

Andy Goodrich is a 60-year-old Los Angeles art dealer who hardly sees his family, and his boutique gallery is starting to fail. One night, he’s awakened by a phone call from his younger wife Naomi who informs him that she has entered a 90-day rehab program for prescription pill addiction. Furious that Andy hadn’t even noticed she was having issues with substance abuse, she informs him that she is leaving him and asks that he not contact her. He drives to the rehab facility anyway, where he’s turned away.

Without Naomi around, Andy is shown to be out of his depth with his nine-year-old twins Billie and Mose, missing school dropoff and arriving late the following day. He lies to them and says that Naomi is staying with her mother in St. Louis but the kids quickly hear from their classmates that she is in rehab. Andy befriends their classmate Alex’s single father, Terry, a part-time actor who is struggling with his own husband leaving him three years earlier.

Andy has a tense relationship with Grace, his 36-year-old daughter from his first marriage, since he was also always at work when she was growing up and she was primarily raised by her mother, Ann. Andy asks Grace for help with watching her younger siblings and they begin to speak more regularly. Grace is pregnant with her first child with her husband Pete, an otolaryngologist, whom Andy doesn’t think is good enough for his daughter.

Andy’s accountant informs him and his business partner Cy that their artists aren’t bringing in enough revenue to offset high rents and labor costs. He sets out to secure the art from the estate of Teresa Thompson, a recently deceased painter, through her daughter Lola.

Andy continues trying to balance parenting Billie and Mose, repairing his relationship with Grace, and saving his business with a deal with Lola over the next couple of months. His ex-wife Ann and Grace both recognize that he looks like he’s in a healthier place.

After Lola agrees with Andy to sell her mother’s art, he begins preparing the gallery for the exhibit. Lola suddenly backs out, however, and Andy is forced to close his business, having run out of options. He throws a farewell party, and he and Grace reflect on what’s next for him: traveling; parenting; and becoming a grandfather. He agrees to take her to her next doctor’s appointment while her mother is out of town and Pete is working.
