Only the Lonely: A Heartwarming Tale of Love and Family

Plot Summary

Chicago police officer Danny Muldoon is a 38-year-old lonely bachelor living with his controlling mother, Rose. Danny has been responsible for his family since his father died, working to put his brother Patrick through law school and feeling responsible for caring for Rose, often envisioning her dying in horrible ways if he is not around to protect her. Patrick, despite having a wife and children, repeatedly tries to convince Danny to remain single and relocate to Florida with Rose, while her neighbor Nick Acropolis makes continuous attempts to date her.

The Beginning of a Unique Romance

One night, two men bring a corpse into a bar while Danny is there, drawing the attention of the local funeral director and his highly-introverted daughter, Theresa Luna. Danny is immediately smitten with Theresa, taking her on several dates, during which she becomes increasingly confident. However, the relationship struggles because of Danny’s guilt about not being around for his mother and Rose’s interference out of concern that his relationship will leave her alone. When Rose finally meets Theresa for dinner, she makes derogatory comments about her appearance and Sicilian/Polish heritage. Theresa stands up for herself for the first time by chastising Rose, and berates Danny for failing to do so on her behalf. After returning home, Danny scolds his mother for the cruel remarks she makes to others under the guise of “telling it like it is”, reminding her that the only time he heard his father cry was after she harmed his career by making rude remarks to a prospective client.

The Decision to Choose Love Over Fear

Danny decides to marry Theresa, proposing to her from the bucket of a Chicago fire truck outside her bedroom window. During fitting for his wedding suit, Patrick again tries to convince Danny to move to Florida, arguing that Danny deserves better than Theresa. Danny rebuffs him, stating that Patrick only wants to ensure Danny is available to care for Rose to assuage Patrick’s own guilt about not doing so. Patrick asks that Danny ensure he truly loves Theresa and is not settling just to not be alone. The night before the wedding, Rose gives her approval to the relationship. However, Theresa becomes upset when Danny interrupts their time together following the rehearsal dinner to call and check on Rose, rationalizing that he will never truly prioritize their relationship over his mother. On the day of the wedding, neither Danny nor Theresa turns up and their relationship ends.

A Journey Towards True Happiness

Returning to his single life, Danny makes plans to move to Florida with Rose. When an elderly friend named Doyle passes away suddenly, leaving behind no family and few friends, Danny realizes he does not want to end up the same way. He goes to see Theresa but walks away before they can talk. On the day they are scheduled to move to Florida, Danny tells Rose he will not be accompanying her because he wants to be with Theresa. Though broken-hearted, Rose tells Danny to find Theresa, marry her, and have a family. Aboard the plane to Florida, Rose learns that Danny gave his ticket to Nick, and the pair hold hands.

A New Beginning

Danny learns that Theresa has left for New York City by train and has his friend at the railroad service stop and deboard the train at a station outside Chicago. There, Danny apologizes to Theresa, proclaiming his love for her and that he intends to move with her to New York City and join the NYPD. Though Theresa admits her love for him, her worries about Rose remain, but Danny assures her that she is his priority now. Danny experiences one final vision of Rose and Nick defeating a group of terrorists aboard the plane, and accepts that she can take care of herself. Danny and Theresa board the train for New York to start their life together.
