Lily Trevino longs for a familial connection, having been abandoned by her mother as a child and then by her father, Bob, in her twenties. On Facebook, she reaches out to a Bob Trevino, who works long hours alone at a construction company to support his wife Jeanie’s scrapbooking habit. Lily and Bob’s blossoming friendship becomes a vital source of connection and healing in both their lives. Bob’s small acts of fatherly kindness fill a familial void in Lily’s life and hold the power to change her direction forever. In their own ways, these two must both learn they are worthy of extraordinary love exemplified through small acts of kindness.
The film is inspired by the true friendship that writer/director Tracie Laymon found with a stranger when searching for her father online.
