Sam Dawson è un minorato mentale con il quoziente intellettivo di un bambino di sei anni. Ha un lavoro, una casa e una figlia, Lucy, che cresce con amore, aiutato da uno strampalato gruppo di amici. Quando Lucy compie sette anni e sviluppa capacità superiori a quelle del padre, i servizi sociali decidono che è ora di affidarla ad una famiglia più adatta. Sam decide di contrastare questa decisione con l'aiuto di Rita Harrison, avvocato in carriera e a sua volta mamma in difficoltà.

Sam, a neurodivergent man, has a daughter with a homeless woman who abandons them when they leave the hospital, leaving Sam to raise Lucy on his own. But as Lucy grows up, Sam's limitations as a parent start to become a problem and the authorities take her away. Sam convinces high-priced lawyer Rita to take his case pro bono and in turn teaches her the value of love and family.
