Sam Harper, a struggling corporate trader in New York City, may have violated federal law and faces a possible Federal Trade Commission investigation, so his boss urges him to bribe federal officials. Returning home, Sam’s girlfriend Hannah informs him that his estranged father, Jerry, has died. They fly to Los Angeles, where he has a tense reunion with his mother Lillian.

Unexpected Inheritance

Jerry’s lawyer and friend Ike tells Sam he will not inherit any money. He then hands him a shaving kit containing $150,000 in cash and a note stipulating that the money be delivered to Josh Davis. Josh is a troubled 11-year-old, whose bartender mother Frankie Davis is a recovering alcoholic. Sam secretly follows her to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. There, he learns Frankie is Jerry’s illegitimate daughter, and therefore his paternal half-sister, and Josh his nephew. Sam introduces himself to Frankie as a visiting fellow alcoholic. When Sam tells Hannah he intends to keep the money, she returns to New York, disgusted.

A Complicated Relationship

Sam then introduces himself to Josh, preventing him from shoplifting CDs from a record store. Soon he becomes involved in their life, gradually growing closer. Helping her with laundry, he learns that Jerry visited her and her mother on Sundays, and that Frankie has never met her father’s wife and son. Meanwhile, Sam broods over his deepening legal troubles. Frankie does not want him around Josh anymore because she fears that when he returns to New York, it will upset her son. He decides to leave, but returns to pick up Josh from school, as Frankie later calls him because Josh’s been in a fight. Sam eventually reveals that he is Jerry’s son, as Frankie is acting too grateful, resulting in her exploding in anger and ordering him to leave. She then receives Jerry’s money through a lawyer. Frankie quits her job, enrolls in school, and moves into a suburban neighborhood with Josh. She cuts contact with Sam.

Family Reunion

Later, Lillian is hospitalized due to a heart condition. Hannah finds Sam in the waiting room, and they reconcile. Hannah has enrolled into UCLA’s law program to remain close to Sam after realizing he wants to be with his family. After being discharged from the hospital, Lillian tells Sam that she forced Jerry to choose their family over Frankie and her mother. She was protecting Sam, but Jerry instead rejected his son because he was a reminder of the daughter he abandoned. One day, Josh, who is having difficulty adjusting to Sam’s absence, tries to find him after obtaining Lillian’s address. He leaves Sam a note with their new address. When Sam visits Frankie, he asks her forgiveness and wants to be her brother and Josh’s uncle and father figure. He shows her an old film reel that Jerry shot of a young Sam at a playground. In the film, a girl joins Sam, and Frankie realizes that Jerry had regularly brought her and Sam to play together and thus loved both his children. At this recognition, Frankie accepts Sam as her brother.
