An inspirational drama about the unbreakable bond between parent and child. Marisa (Jacinda Barrett) is a mother forced to take matters into her own hands to save the life of her son, Jack (Tom Russell) after he is diagnosed with Leukaemia. Determined to find a bone marrow donor, Marisa undertakes a tireless and exhaustive search, including delving into the infidelities of her husband David (Richard Roxburgh) in the hope that a donor might exist as a result of one of his many extra marital affairs. Meanwhile, during his treatment, Jack befriends Finn (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a young Irish boy in the next bed who has also been diagnosed with the same disease whilst travelling the world with his father, Connor (James Nesbitt). In contrast to Marisa's feelings of frustration and anger, Connor is determined to be positive - inspiring his son by creating a beautiful, imaginary world in which he can face his illness. Marisa and Jack slowly form a bond with Connor and Finn, leading them all on a path to self-discovery, honesty and hope.
