Storyline:
Being a father isn’t always easy—especially when you're learning on the job.
Andy Goodrich’s comfortable life is thrown into disarray when his wife unexpectedly enters a rehab program, leaving him to raise their young children alone. For the first time, he must juggle parenting, responsibilities, and his own personal struggles—all without the safety net he once relied on.
Desperate for help, Andy turns to Grace, his estranged daughter from his first marriage—a woman who grew up without the father she needed. As their paths reconnect, Andy finds himself on an unexpected journey of redemption and growth, slowly evolving into the father Grace never had—and the one his young children desperately need.
Filled with humor, emotional depth, and touching family moments, Goodrich is a moving story of second chances, personal growth, and the unbreakable bonds of family.
