It takes four years for her husband, Bobby 'Carp' Carpenter, to come to his senses and try to bring his derailed family back together. But there are many challenges in the way of Carp and the success he would like to achieve.In those four years, Carp’s two children decide they no longer want anything to do with him.

The police focus on Carp, accusing him of the murder.It’s up to Davis, a longtime family friend and a Vietnam veteran, to rescue his beleaguered buddy and adopted family.
