Shortly after learning of his estranged father's death, Sam reluctantly travels to Los Angeles to settle the estate. There, he discovers that his father has left $150,000 intended for a young boy named Josh and his mother, Frankie, who Sam eventually learns is his sister. Faced with this unexpected revelation, Sam is initially conflicted but decides to get to know Frankie and Josh, without disclosing their familial connection.

As Sam spends more time with Frankie and Josh, he develops a bond with them, all while keeping his true identity a secret. Frankie, a recovering alcoholic and struggling single mother, views Sam as a potential friend and support system, unaware of their shared father. Their growing relationship forces Sam to reassess his own life and values, leading him towards personal growth and a deeper understanding of family.
