Will Freeman (Hugh Grant) is a young man in his 30s whose life is going nowhere. But, that all turns around when troubled 12-year-old Marcus (Nicholas Hutchinson) attaches himself to Will and changes Will's life forever. Will and Marcus meet when Will joins S.P.A.T. (Single Parents Alone Together) as a means to meet single women. Will fabricates a story about having a two-year-old son, but Marcus catches on to Will's scheme and urges him to date his own depressed mother Fiona (Toni Collette). That doesn't work, and it doesn't take long before Will falls for single mom Rachel (Rachel Weisz), and now he tries to pass Marcus off as his son. A bad plan–but when Will tries to make it up to Marcus, he finally grows up.
