As an offer for his dream job presents itself, Peter makes it his mission to successfully juggle his career with his family life and caring for his troubled son the way he’d wanted his father (Anthony Hopkins) to have taken care of him. But, by obsessing over the past to correct its mistakes, Peter may risk losing Nicholas in the present.
