Cam (Mark Ruffalo) falls in love with the exotic woman Maggie (Zoe Saldana), and the two come together to join hands in the marriage hall. Not long after, Maggie gave birth to two lovely children Faith (Ashley Aufderheide) and Murray (Keir Dullea), however, at this time Cam was unable to go out to work because of bipolar disorder, and the family's financial situation plummeted. One day, Maggie got an opportunity to earn a scholarship. She decided to go to Columbia University to study in order to obtain a master's degree in business administration. This degree can bring her family a considerable income, but at the same time, it also means that Maggie must study away from home for 18 months. During this period, the burden of taking care of two children fell on Cam's shoulders.
